Harold was one of my husband Charlie's best friends
Coincidently, Harold died on the same date 5 years after Charlie on April 15. And no, they were not trying to get out of paying their taxes.
I do wonder however if they aren't both sitting up there somewhere having a beer and laughing about some of their shared memories.
Pam Smolich and I were lucky enough to travel to Europe with Harold last Spring. Although we knew he wasn't always feeling up to snuff he kept going and enjoyed the trip. Harold will be greatly missed. He was an upbeat person with many stories to share. Adios, Harold.

The passing of such a wonderful man will truly be missed by all. Harold came into my life with the marriage of my daughter Melinda to his grandson Greg. Harold always had a kind for others and enjoyed spending the time with him in our home for different celebrations. His great granddaughter's Maddie and Addie talked with me yesterday that Great grandpa Horner's spirit was in heaven now.. what wonder memories he created for them to remember . He truly will be missed by all ..

One of my favorite uncles. Will always remember the fourth of July family reunions at Sylvan Park in Redlands. Who can forget the slide shows from all the wonderful places he had been. Thank you for the sage advice - I finally quit smoking. God bless you Woody & Phil.

This memory of Harold leaves me to smiile as I am sure he would too. All that Harold is was a gift. I will always be left with knowing his ability to give a piece of himself was done so very freely and willingly. Thankyou for all that you had given to so many others.
