I knew Harold and his family for 70+ years. A dedicated family and church man who epitomized a good life. I remember Harold and the other men from the church, hand digging, to gain headroom, in order to finish the basement. He will be missed by the church and the community.

So sorry for the loss of Harold, he served our community with his endless dedication to the Franklin Fire Co and the Orange Methodist Church. He always had a story to share about things that he experienced in his 93 years of life. Stories about Mert and his family, how proud he was of his children and grandchildren and how grateful he was for the help and care his nephew Bill gave to him, and he loved his cat dearly. Harold was a gift to us all and truly will be missed and never forgotten. Rest in peace.
