Sympathy to Ina and family

Harold will be missed by many for his community and church work. We remember fondly the time he helped out fixing the church bus when our daughter was taking a mission group to NY and broke down in Florence. He always had a smile. Our condolences to all.

Ed and Susan Burcham
