Harold's presence would radiate with love and friendliness. His wisdom, kindness, and intelligence set a grand example for those around him. The humor he imparted and his creative handiness brought joy to every moment. We especially cherish the generosity that defined him as the best grandfather one could ask for. We look forward to cherishing your memory, Poppa, through our shared love and stories told by our children about their beloved Grand Po Pa. May you rest in peace till we meet again in blissful reunion.
