I had the great privilege of working for Mr Singleton at both Montrose and Springfield Park. He was always so kind and supportive of his teachers. He gave me confidence in my abilities after I had been away from teaching for a number of years. God bless him and your family. He will be missed.

It was a pleasure and an honor to know the Singletons when I was in grade school and high school. Judge Singleton was one of the kindest and friendliest people I ever met. Morrison and I were classmates at Holy Cross School and enjoyed many a good laugh. Harold was simply one of the most generous, thoughtful, intelligent and helpful upperclassmen I encountered. Lord knows I needed a mentor in those days and Harold Singleton was the mentor I will never forget. I'm not surprised that he spent his life in education. God's peace, my friend. Morrison, take good care, my old friend. Phil Garmey

Sorry for your loss. Will miss my pew buddy. First met in Henrico schools, then Atlee Band, Lee-Davis graduation, and finally at church.
