Oh Harold, I will very much miss our regular talks when you were out walking on my street! They were such a joy to me. I will miss your constant smile and infectious positive attitude. My sincere sympathies to Joyce and family. But, if anyone is in heaven today, it is Harold without a doubt. God Bless.
