Cindy, Dad and I were just talking about your Dad at lunch today. I decided to look him up on line and was surprised to find he had recently passed away. We were saddened by his passing, but knowing he is with Christ we can rejoice in knowing that we will see him again. We hope you and your family are doing well. Love in Christ, Mark and Ben.

I have know Harold since I was a small child, when he taught me in Sunday School class, I think on Des Moines ST, Phipp's Church. Reconnected at Heritage Assembly a few years back. Got to enjoy Harold when toward the last I picked him up for Church, and we would talk about many things, and laughed when he would have to point out to me that I had missed our turn off E 29th to get him him, I told him buckle up Harold, I would hate to have to send you home with a knot on your head, if I had to brake quickly. Oh and we would watch for the White Squirrel we would see from time to time on the way to & from Church. I will miss a true example of what a dedicated child of God looks & acts like
