Harold was my Administrator, a pool league partner, insurance agent, but most of all, my friend.
I sent you a text the morning of the 28th and thought it was very strange that I had not heard back from you.....
Only to get a call from my sister later that evening to tell me you had passed the night before in an accident on your bike. I cried for my friend !!! For his children, family, and friends. I prayed for their peace and comfort in their loss and give my condolences to all. Then ... today I thought, he was on his Harley riding, doing what he loved. Love and miss you already.
