Harold was the kindest and most loyal person I have had the pleasure to work with. I always could count on him for anything. His support and hardworking nature will certainly be missed by all of the plastics workers that had an opportunity to work with him. Thank you Harold for teaching me that dedication and gratitude will get me through the most trying times I will encounter.

Lori, Jason and family: Please know that I always enjoyed my conversations with Harold from our early days at the old Distillery Lounge where he worked for Ted, also a dear friend of Harold's and mine, until the present. He was a most likable guy and I will miss him. Rest in peace, partner.

Lori,
I am so sorry to hear of Harold's passing. Another great guy taken from his family and friends way to soon.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
You were both such a source of strength and support when Mike passed away, please know you have that same strength and support from those around you.
I'm sure Mike is there waiting for Harold with a smile, a hug and a cold beverage. Oh the stories they will have.
Please let me know if you need anything.
Thoughts and prayers,
John
