We had known Harold for years when he was our postman, then in Crooked River Ranch before he moved to Prineville. He was a good man exemplified from being an Eagle Scout on through life. Though we never got to visit after his move to Prineville, he has never been forgotten. We now live back in Grants Pass. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and the rest of his family at this time. George and Darlene

It seems so unreal that you are not on earth anymore. Like you always said," when your number is up God calls you home". I know how tired you were. You were always there for me when I needed you. You gave me the best childhood a girl could have. Attending everything I was in, concerts, piano recitals,sole recital,, that I sang danced or played in. You never complained about anything I ever cooked even when it was not very good. There is so much of you in my everyday life I see and here you all the time. I see you in my son Alex and my daughter Angela. You gave me so much of your self, and never complained. worked so very hard all of your life. A life well lived never really dies because it lives on in our hearts forever. You are in my heart forever. I miss you so very much !"said goodbye , turned around, and you were gone, slipped away. You are the stars to me, you are the light I follow. I will you see you again this is not where it ends I will carry, you with me, till see you again. Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking , but I stay strong and hold on cuz, I know I will see you again. said goodbye turned around and are gone." From the song See You Again by Carrie Underwood. I love you daddy, may you rest in peace . Night , night. Your loving daughter, Sandy

Dear Harold,
you have been in my life with my mom for over 42 years, and what a great 42 years! We've lived together, traveled together, celebrated holidays together & camped together. We've celebrated my HS & college graduation, Brad's college graduation, our wedding, the birth of all 3 of our children, and their HS and college graduations (and Melissa's multiple graduations!), and your HS graduation at the age of 82! You and mom lovingly took Melissa in as a young baby so we could finish college, and again many times as a young girl as we needed your help. You and mom helped immeasurably when little Kendra was born and after 5 long months in the NICU in Illinois, was finally able to come home, and you and mom provided a brand new beautiful motor home for us for bring her and Melissa home. You were always happy to get together and do all of our campouts and holidays together, happy to go places, happy to be on this earth every day. As you said many times, you were were happy to be here another day with "the good lord willing and the creek don't rise"........ I know you really loved living in Prineville. You loved your home and your friends you made here. This is where you wanted to be till the end of your life, and so it happened with mom at your side. Peace be with you Harold, we miss you here on earth and hope to see you again someday. Love, Becky

Harold - those days of chopping wood are finally over. We will take good care of Marjorie as she moves forward. After spending time with her after those first few days you were gone, I realized how much you meant to her. I hope someday I can take 91 trips around the sun like you did. Rest in peace.

Harold, I will miss your happy countenance, always ready to see the positive of the day. Despite the cancers that interrupted your routine, I've never met anyone who survived multiple debilitating circumstances and remained happy to wake up each day like you did. And never complained. You were truly a model of "life is what you make it" That we each shape our own world by our attitude. We will all miss your easy going spirit and your presence in our lives. Enjoy the next ride! Love you, Deby

I am still having trouble believing my Grandpa is no longer a part of this world. He is in my earliest memories... I used to spend summers with him and my Grandma Marge, traveling in their 5th wheel, riding bikes, swimming and playing. I remember them coming to my earliest dance recitals and always there at the important moments of life, from my birth and caring for me in their home while my parents finished college all the way through school, to college, to my wedding, and my medical school graduation. A fixture in my life, my grandfather always had wonderful stories . I loved to hear him talk about the changes the world has been through in the 91 years since he's been a part of it. He had stories of his exploits on a Pacific Island in WWII, stories of the Great Depression and living on a farm, stories of what Washington DC used to be like when he was a young man...it was an amazing opportunity to get to see the world through the eyes of someone who has seen it change so much. My grandfather loved my daughter, his great grand-daughter, Kendra. When she would come, they would sit and talk and play together. It was such a sweet moment to see. I miss you, Grandpa. Thanks so much for all the wonderful memories. The world will never quite be the same again since you've left it...
