  1. So sorry for your loss.
    We have so many memories of Harry. From camping, parties and just playing on the farm land.
    I know he will always be in our hearts.

    Harold is and will be fondly remembered in Beautiful Downtown Laurel by all who got to experience his friendship. He made the neighborhood a better place with his presence. His ability to run and ride his bike great distances were an inspiration to all and some of the neighborhood get togethers in the old chicken coop were legendary. Condolences to Dotty and all the family and thank you for sharing Harry with us. His memories will forever bring a smile to my face and a warm fuzzy to my heart.

  3. I have fond memories of our families boating in the San Juan’s. I am sorry for your loss.

    I’ve known Harold since 1954. He was one of the kindest, easy-going people I have ever known. Don and Steve, you had a great Dad. I can’t picture him any way but smiling. (I didn’t go to his burial today because it was too soon after the burial of my own husband.)
