Dear Ann and Family, So very, very sorry to learn of Harold's passing. He was so strong for so long, never giving in or giving up when lesser men would have done so long ago. I always enjoyed our conversations when he called the Home Office for one thing or another--some could be quite lively! He was always an advocate for his clients. I pray your hearts are at peace. With deepest sympathy, Donna Watson, Farm Family Life Ins.Co.

Anne and Sean, I can't say that I always enjoyed working with Harold (he was a Yankee fan, after all), but it was close!!! Megan and I SO enjoyed our visits with you and Harold on our annual Captiva vacation. We're so boring, those dinners were actually the highlight of our trips!! Harold (and Chuck) have a special place in Megan's heart, for the way they both "looked after her" in her "formative years" on FF trips. The stories are endless, and all funny. We both miss Harold, very much. He was a special person. Tom Arnstein

Dear Ann and Family, I am so shocked at hearing that Harold died. I so enjoyed my visit with him during the 50th anniversary of our HHS graduation. We were able to spend a good deal of time together. I've been praying for him for years. As we all know he is in a better place and we will see each other again. He hasn't died, just changed his address! Love to you all. In Christ, Bill

Harold and I went to grade school together in Long Valley, and Hackettstown HS. We were childhood friends. I remember his beautiful eyes, always smiling. Our roller skating episodes, and the many fun times on the bus. My brother Floyd and Harold were good friends. I remember our many conversations at the many HS reunions we attended. I will surely miss him at the next one. I have many fond memories of him and his friendship Betty (Miller) Nolan
