Our thoughts and prayers for the family. I worked with Harold for many years and our family knew Harold all his life. He was a very good man he will be missed. Gary and Jackie Gibson
I went to high school with Harold. He was such a nice guy then and continued to be when we crossed paths later in life. He will be sorely missed. My prayers are with each of you .

I’m so sorry for your loss. Harold was always kind to me throughout the years. I know that he’s healed now and is with Jesus.
Jennifer, Daniel, Madelyn, and family, we are praying for you all as you process through this loss.
