Harold was lovingly care for by Lani, Larry, Ronnie, and Ford. Harold was known for his amazing smile and dry sense of humor, which made him very approachable and easy to talk. These traits along with his extensive financial knowledge, served him well as the President of Harris-Hersh Financial Group. Harold enjoyed singing, especially loved embarrassing his daughters with his vocal prowess. The most important thing in Harold's life was his devotion to his family, especially his one-of-kind relationship with his grandchildren, be it carpooling for activities, talking sports with his grandsons, and daycare. He was a very hands-on Papa. Service Monday, 10:30 a.m. CT at The Chapel, 195 N. Buffalo Grove Rd., Buffalo Grove (1 Block N. of Lake Cook Rd.). The service will be livestreamed on Harold's webpage at www.goldmanfuneralgroup.com. Interment Shalom Memorial Park.
