Harold was my neighbor for a long time and we enjoyed many conversations and ice cream together. I am in shock hearing of his passing because he was so full of life. I was looking forward to seeing him again now that I have moved back. I was in shock when I heard the news of his passing. Ellie

Dad,
I am grateful that you were here for us..the keystone that kept the family together. I will miss the holiday meals, and the talks around the table. It's going to be difficult but I know you will still guide us. I love you and miss you.

Dad, I will miss your smiling face, witty humor, patience and strength. Life is going to be tough without you. There isn´t a day that goes by that I don´t think of you. It´s a memory that brings a smile to my face or sadness when I realize that I can´t pick up a phone and talk to you. This is not goodbye but until I see you again. I love you and deeply miss you
