All our love to you and your family. One cannot put into words, all that you have done for all and myself. GodSpeed Harold. Love you mon!

I work at LGH where Harold volunteered. We all LOVED Harold! I just spoke to him a few weeks ago and was hoping he could some day come back to us… we are so saddened by the news of his passing. Harold would sit and tell me of his travels with his family who he loved so very much. We use to pick on him about his “Redskins” 🙂 we all use to enjoy football season Chats with Harold. I am so so sorry for your loss and I will never forget Harold and his little smile as he walked up to the desk. What a wonderful man he was and will be missed.
