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.

We are so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Harold. I have many fun memories of him visiting you guys in SP , helping you build the house on the hill, funny stories of taking the garage down in the terrible heat, then rebuilding it here in SP ! What a super nice man he was ! We will see him again and hear even more stories – he will have lots to tell us I’m sure! Love / & prayers . Ben and Cheryl Davis
