Mr. Harold will be sadly missed. He meant so much to our family. He was always present and supportive of us growing up and stayed current on our accomplishments as adults. When any of us kids would get out of line, Mr. Harold would pull us aside, and speak life experiences and knowledge into us in such a powerful way. It never felt like discipline, but more like a book or guide to life about character and how to navigate people and situations. It breaks my heart that I will never see him again. However, I am grateful for his influence in/over our lives; his encouraging words, and the early and lasting memories made while he was apart of our lives. Rest in Heavenly Peace, Mr. Harold. Love, Cee-Cee
