"I am sad about Harold. I wish I could have said good bye. He was my friend. We visited a couple times a week in the cafeteria at the hospital where I work. I will miss him. I enjoyed visiting with him."

"My husband and I lived across the street from Harold when he lived on 5th Street. He was the sweetest man, a great gardener and a terrific neighbor. I am so sorry for his family in their loss. He will always be remembered in my heart for his gentle spirit."
