We were saddened to hear of Harold Gene's passing. I worked with Harold Gene in the Round House for many years and it was always a pleasure to work with him and just be around him. Haven't seen him for years but have fond memories of our time together. He will be sadly missed by all whose lives he has touched. Our best wishes go to all of his family.

To Chris and all, remember the fun times, I'm sure there were many. Chris, I'll never forget the story of the peanuts and the squirrel. Sorry I couldn't be there but my thoughts are. Love you all.

I was sorry to hear of Harold's passing. He was a quiet, but strong influence in my life.
I am thankful for all he did when I was a teen at Ashland Nazarene. He helped keep the "old" bus running.
Our prayers are with the family.

Dear family,
I'm sorry that Harold had to leave everyone so soon. I only got to meet him a few times but from what I knew of him he was a great person. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. God Bless.

Our hearts are sorrowful over the loss of a wonderful friend and gentleman, but in turn we are rejoicing in the knowledge that Harold has taken up residence in his heavenly home. His gentle spirit, kindness, and willingness to give of himself to others is his legacy that will live on not only in our hearts, but also in those whose lives he touched.
May God Bless and hold close Chris, Terri, Vicki, Tim and their respective families and give them strength as they honor the homegoing of this wonderful husband, father and grandfather.
Love, Gerald & Glenna
