Dear Gail and Family, I'm saddened to hear about Harold's passing. I have wonderful memories of him at the Lake, swimming in your pool as a kid, and Red affectionately calling me "the stray". Red and Gail will always have my love for being such wonderful friends to my grandparents. My thoughts are with all of you.
Dear Gail & Family Words cannot express how we feel right now. You & Harold ( Red ) have been our best friends for a lot of years. We will miss him dearly. Love John & Bonnie Black.
Gail: As Harold's brother Jim's former wife (1967 - 1975), it has been decades since I last visited with you and Harold (Red), and I regret that we lost touch with both of you due to distance and my separation from Harold's bother. I do remember though how pleasant our relationship was during those past years - dances at the legion, etc., and how welcoming you were to Jim and myself. My daughter, Tara, just informed me of her Uncle Harold's passing and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Karyn
It’s hard to put into words how much Harold will be missed. He was more than just a neighbor — he was a true friend, someone who always had a kind word, a warm smile, and a helping hand.

We hope you find comfort in the love that surrounds you and in the many wonderful memories you shared together.
