Harold was a bright smile and breath of fresh air at Home Depot, Bloomington. He told me just this past Saturday May 1st how much he loved working at Home Depot and helping all the "Young People". He was everyone's friend and always in a good mood. His passing is a huge shock and I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family. Abby ~Home Depot~ "I am better for knowing him."

Butch was always there to help me out when I was a single parent. Whenever I needed help with household problems, he and Carol would be there. If I needed someting at Home Depot, he was the first person I looked for, and he made sure I would get what I needed. His sparkling personality will be greatly missed by those who knew him.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Carol, boys and their families. Butch was my cousin who lived next door. I remember the time we were duck hunting on the island at George Lake. Butch was about 100 feet away from us, and a flock of ducks were coming in. My dad was waving for Butch to get in a crouched down position. And Butch saw him and stood up, waved and hollered "Hi Uncle Stan". My dad was laughing so hard he couldn't even shoot. We sure had a lot of fun growing up together, living so close. He will be deeply missed. Love, Jerry
