  1. Harold was kind gentle soul. He will be dearly missed. I was so glad that I got to comfort him in his finals days. He told me he felt comfort when he woke up and saw me that made me feel good. When I would tell him I loved him he would say back love you more that warmed my heart. Such a sweet and caring man.

  7. As a child growing up in Florida far far away from Harold here in North Carolina I didn’t grow up seeing much of Harold but in the past 5 years being back in North Carolina I have grown very close to Harold. He holds very near and dear to my heart and always will. One of the most sweet loving person I have ever gotten to know. Harold will be very missed and still loved and close to every single person he has touched and known. ❤️

  8. We got to know Harold at church. I had conversations with him about God and Heavenly things. He knew a lot about the Bible. I know we will see him soon. We all love him and will miss him.

  9. Sorry to hear of Harold’s passing. Ronnie and Candy I pray God will hold you both close during these sad times. God Bless you and yours forever.

  10. Harold was a wonderful person. He played Santa one year at my house. We had so much fun. I have so many fond memories of him. I called him the gentle giant. He will be missed. RIP my friend.
