Uncle Harold was a special man and will be remembered for his gentle spirit, kind deeds, happy smile and generosity to his fellow man and family. My daughter, Autumn, calls
him "Gruncle" and says it's because he's a Great Uncle in more than one way! Many happy memories will live on between our family's years together,
shared joys and sorrows, and love. Surely the Lord has proclaimed, "Well done my good and faithful servant", and
and is holding him tight while smiling. Our prayers and love are with you all during this difficult time.
