Dear Sue and Family, Art and I only found out today that Harold had passed. I'm sorry we didn't know sooner and could have attended the services. Harold blessed our family in many ways. He was a thoughtful and caring man always willing to give of himself. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ruth, John, and family of Harold
I was one of the relatively few that was privaliged to know Harold in his youth. A fun loving neighbor, a good friend. I know how he touched so many in his reverent life.
Ruth, you know you are always in my thoughts.

Susan Weller & Family:
I send my sympathy to you at this time of your lost.
It has been a very long time since I had seen Harold.
I have thought of him many times, thinking of him working in The Lord's work. For some reason I hadn't been able to keep track of his location. I attended Northwestern High School at Palmyra, Il. with him and graduated with him in 1954.
He was a wonderful person.
Now he is asleep in The Lord.

Our Condolences to Susan and Family,
We will always remember Harold as a wonderful neighbor and friend. He was a terrific conversationalist and a great listener who offered good advice and humor. His work ethic was incredible, I remember Harold digging out by hand and waterproofing his basement, a task only a backhoe should do. He will be missed in our neighborhood.
