I have many fond memories of the years I was part of the Head "clan". Harold provided quite a variety of them. From wonderful talks and stories, to commentary on the best ways to cook greens, pintos, and cornbread. Sitting beside a hospital bed or watching television at home, the mood was always upbeat and promising. You will be missed and the love felt during this life will be felt for generations to come. You impacted many and that is a life well led.
