Harold was my neighbor and friend, as well as feeling like a father to me. He was dear, sweet, funny and just so incredibly loveable. He would remember every event or story that was shared about my life, yet he was 34 years older! I am so happy that Harold was so independent and strong for most of the time that I shared this earth with him.
To Harold's family: I am crying as I write this, but please know how much Harold is loved by us all, and how much he will be missed.
