Harold was a wonderful man . He always asked me about my flowers and what I had planted. He will be greatly missed.

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.
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.
