It is interesting that just today I was talking to a Vickers friend and we happened to talk about both Harold and Rosemary. Both of them left strong memories behind down here in Mississippi. Harold was the best boss I ever had in my 44 years at Vickers/Eaton. I feel that he made me to grow in those many years that I knew him before I learned just how wonderful his wife Rosemary was. My wife Donna and I actually loved them probably as much as their family members did. It just so happens that my wife Donna died in mid 2020 but I still very often remember the things that we did with Harold and Rosemary. There are times that I wish they were still around to offer their wisdom to me. They had a wonderful life together which is what good marriages mean to others. Both of them had their special talents and they willingly shared them with anyone that showed an interest. I have a wonderful painting by Rosemary hanging next to my kitchen table and I have a Vickers cutaway C-5 aircraft hydraulic pump that was given to Harold when he retired. It is on display in my living room so I have the honor of having him with me every day of my life. I write these words so the members of the family can see that their parents are being fondly remembered after so many years of their passing to be with the Lord

To Rosemary's Family..... It is so hard to believe that so much time has past since Rosemary's and Harold's deaths. Donna and I constantly talk about them and express to each other just how much we miss them. We consider them as being one of our best of friends. We really miss the loving times that we were able to enjoy with them. We could confide in both of them and share our thoughts. I have always thought our immortality is actually the people we leave behind that still remembers the good things that we did while we walked this earth. We know they shared a deep religious life and we just know that they are up there in heaven looking down on us all and laughing or crying with us. They had a great life and family for all to be proud of. We are glad that we were fortunate to share some of their time here. Clyde & Donna

To Rosemary's Family...... Donna and I are very saddened as we know you all are by this unexpected loss of Rosemary. Over our many years of knowing Harold and Rosemary, we found them to be very thoughtful and involved with each of you. You contributed greatly to their joy of living during their journey here on earth. They talked to us about each of you as though we were part of your family. Make no mistake about it, they loved you so very much and shared your ups and downs that we all experience in our lives. Rosemary was just a joy to be around and always was fun to be with. Everyone knew her for the wonderful dishes she prepared and I am sure you seek to duplicate them. We will miss her love
