Harold, I will forever miss our many talks as you would walk or drive around the.block then stop to tell me the latest neighborhood news. You knew every thing going on and we would have great laughs trying to figure people out. Lol. I will miss you waving me down just to want to say hi. You became a friend and I will truly miss your presence on Summit St. Now you get to walk the streets of gold with Jesus. Love you Harold.
