Brother Minister Harold was a very special person even at the age of 13years. That was when I met him. Bro. Harold was smart in school and he was very sociable, especially with the girls(smile). At Showalter Junior High School, Bro. Harold was instrumental in increasing my popularity in a positive manner with other students. During a talent show at school, Bro. Harold asked me to join his group to imitate Smokey and the Miracles. We won the contest!Bro.Min.Harold has always been a polite, respectful,and honorable individual.I will always remember the burst of sunshine in Bro.Harold' smile. May Allah bless and keep his family safe. Respectfully Submitted, Sis. Linda
