Just heard today of my sweet friend Harold’s passing. My heart stopped when I walked toward his booth at the flea market and didn’t see his flags flying and his signs out. Doors locked up tight. Oh Harold, I’ll miss you more than you’ll ever know. You were a generous, caring, fun, funny one-of-a kind interesting man. What I’ll never forget is your true patriotism. Standing guard at fallen heroes’ funerals, even though it ripped your heart out every time. I won’t be able to go to the flea market for a long time. I love you my friend. Thank you for always being there for me, and everyone else who needed a friend. You had strong shoulders and helped carry a lot of other people’s burdens for them. Ride free–and Never, Ever pay full price!!
Harold was a gentle, kind man and neighbor. May he be at peace now, his suffering is over.
We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Harold, he was a great guy and will be missed, our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Harold’s friendly personality will be missed. My sympathies to the family and friends.
I have never met any family of Harold’s, so I write this in his memory. Harold was a guy I always enjoyed seeing, at work or in the public. He had a rare and kind aspect and nothing but agreeable words for all.
Harold was a caring and a friend to all that knew him. took my children to see his animals when he lived on the farm. very giving person, and will be missed.
Harold, you are fondly thought of and will be missed. Goodbye our dear friend!
Very sad to hear he was such a amazing person I had great memories of him when I was a child you will be missed dearly
I will miss Harold. He was a kind and generous friend. He was always on the lookout for items relating to vintage penmanship for me–I have many items to remind me of him. Going to the Flea Market won’t be the same without seeing him there.
