| Melba, we are so sorry about Harold. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of the family. Harold is so loved by everyone.... and has left us all with a deep void in our hearts. What a trip he has taken today, being transported from this life to the presence of the God he loved so very much. He hurts no more!! Our prayer is that you and all his loved ones and friends can find some peace in that thought. | |

| Harold was a loyal friend both at Rising Starr and Bennett's Mill. He went above and beyond what was ever asked or expected. I was honored that he shared his life's journey with me, telling me about his love of the Lord. I know he and Jesus are sharing hugs today:)! Love, Joliene Price | |

| We will surely miss Harold's corny jokes at Prime Timers. He was always such a joy to be around. Melba, we are keeping you in our prayers as we know you will miss your best friend of so many years. At this time of sorrow, we can remind ourselves of the glorious hope that we have in Jesus. We can be assured that we will see Harold again. May God bless the family with His strength and peace. | |

| I was honored to have known Harold since I was a little girl and even more honored to have worked with him and shared his love of our Lord at church. Harold always had a smile on his face and found the good in everyone and everything. He made everyone around him feel like they were important and was one of the hardest working men I have ever known. I will miss you terribly, Harold...but like you told me the last time we spoke a couple weeks ago, you are now dancing with Jesus. We all know who the Angels will call if anything ever breaks!!!!!! Love you always!!! | |

| What I remember most about Harold is how much he enjoyed life. He always had a smile on his face and would greet you warmly. When I came to Rising Starr, I could count on him to help me with whatever I needed to set up my room. There was never a request I made that he didn't do his best to accommodate. He took pride in the school and how it looked. His job was important to him. He was important to us, and we missed him when he went on to a new opportunity. As you go through life, there are some people who really make a difference in the lives of others. He was one of them. I extend my very deepest sympathies. | |
