Harold was my favorite Aviation Instructor in 1986. Who knew that 30 years later we would be working together. He was the kindest, patient, most understanding human I´ve ever met. I´ve called him `YODA´ since 1986 and he got a kick out of it. Wisdom and knowledge just falls off of him when he stands there. Whenever I saw him no matter how far across the hangar he was I would make beeline for him because I knew that he was going to make me laugh. With that warm smile and the way his eyes lit up how could you NOT smile. He ALWAYS had that vise like handshake. He´s going to be missed!!
