I just found out this sad news from my dad, as I am stationed overseas. Harold, and his wonderful family, were the first ones (along with Ken and Janet Worth) to teach me about the Bible. Forever thankful.
Harold buried my grandparents too. A man who loved God with all his heart and his neighbor as himself.
I am so very sad but I know he is in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Until we meet again friend.
Very Respectfully,
Major Tom Toalston

Sending my sympathy to Liz and family. I am saddened for your loss but know Harold is with his Savior. I had one of the best summer jobs working with Harold at ODOT. I enjoyed helping with a few Bible Schools with Harold & Liz at Mechanicstown Corinth Church. He was a great guy!

Elizabeth we are so sorry for your loss. We have run into him a bunch of times this last year and he was always glad to see us and mention the house and how you have loved it. His cheerful attitude and caring will always be remembered. We are sending prayers of comfort for you and the girls. Much love Joan and Dan Wickersham.

Harold was our insurance agent for many years and sometimes he would call me out of the blue and we would talk for hours. Definitely one of the nicest guy I've ever met, this breaks my heart to hear this.

Harold was the nicest guy I've ever met! He married my wife and I back in 2018 and would always stop by to bring us flowers or to just say hi. We will forever miss him

So sorry to hear this, Harold was our Realtor when we purchased our house almost 20 years ago and was so kind and wonderful to work with. We would cross paths with him from time to time throughout the years, many times at the Mechanicstown tractor pull where he always greeted you with a big smile. Deepest sympathy to his family & friends. Rest in peace Harold.

I'm so sad to hear this. My condolences and prayers for Liz and family. I had the best summer job for 3 years working with Harold at ODOT. He taught me to drive a stick and never passed up the chance to tell someone what an adventure that was! He was a great guy.
