So sorry for this loss, he will be missed, I remember he tried to talk to me about politics, well me not knowing a lot about it. Didn't really no how to answer his questions, and was afraid to answer. I was afraid I would say the wrong thing and upset him, so I'd just say something like, well, I don't no what to think about that Harold, he'd say, what do you mean you don't no what to think about that, what's to think about, then lonola would rescue me..lol
