So sorry to hear about Mr. Harrold's passing. He was a good, honest guy who was always kind, and looked after his customers to make sure they stayed warm in Winter and comfortable in summer. We will miss seeing and talking to him. May he rest in peace in heaven.

I am so sorry to hear of Joe´s passing. I just heard this evening. As a customer, he and his brother and family have been wonderful to me. My thoughts are with the entire Harrold family.

I fell upon this sad news on the internet today while on break at work. I sometimes look up Broomall and Newtown Square, to see if anything is new and here this was. I moved from Broomall two and half years ago after being a life long resident, and I now live in Wilmington, Delaware. I have known Joe for a hundred years. He was a good friend all through high school at MNSH and was my oil guy in my house of 40 years where I raised my family. He was a sweet guy and his brother Ed is too. I am saddened to read about his passing. God bless you friend.
