Harold was a great guy, always happy to help anyone. I had the pleasure of working with him at Konal in Blenheim for may years and again at Dana in Chatham. We built and fixed many things together and had a lot of laughs also. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family. R.I.P. Buddy

Harold, our dear friend, I can’t believe you are gone. We had so many more memories to make, but I will forever cherish the trips we shared together. Your famous saying, “we’er on vacation,” will always stay with us. Through our boys, Jordan and Matthew, we became family, but what grew between us was a special friendship that will last forever. Rest in peace, my friend.
With love,
David & Christina
