Harold was a devoted and loving husband, father and “Pappy” who cherished time with family, often taking them on vacations and adventures both large and small. He supported every activity his children and grandchildren participated in and enjoyed attending sporting events, dance recitals, graduations, and countless other events! He could always be counted on for a good laugh, to share a cup of coffee, to lend a helping hand or to have the perfect tool for any project.
