What a wonderful man. I am blessed to be a part of his life. We always had chocolate or cookies that Jeanette made before breakfast . Shhh!! If you could get him to sing, he had a beautiful voice. I will truly miss him. God bless Harold’s family, before COVID, they were so dedicated to him, every night a visit for supper.

DEEPEST SYMPATHY Tom & Anita🙏🙏
We are deeply saddened for your loss! Our thoughts and prayers are with you! We love you!
Departed from the well worn stage, His final words ascend, Behind the towering back stage drapes He awaits our play to end. Stage light bathes us tearful few, Yet cast upon the stage, Love illuminating roles called life, With various shades of age. There was sensed the ripple of the drapes, That hid him from our sight, But only ‘til this play should end, And we could reunite. by Dale Rhoades
