I'll always remember the good time we had with him, I want his family to know I love him as if he were my Dad, You are so lucky to have had him in your lives and me too..Please keep intouch.. we are still family.. although hes gone, he will never be forgotten, With all my love Chrissy

I am so sorry for your loss. My mother lives in Florida and just told me of Harold's passing. My mom's name is Doris and is a daughter of Evelyn (Ossman) Miller, thus is Harold's first cousin. If I ever met Harold or Iris, I was too young to remember. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
