Today, we gather to honor and remember a man who meant so much to us all. Harold was a steadfast presence, a source of strength, love, and unwavering support in countless lives.

He showed us love—often with a touch of 'tough love'—through his actions and sacrifices, always prioritizing his family's well-being. He instilled in us the values of hard work, dedication, and the profound meaning of unconditional love. His guidance shaped us into who we are today.

Though our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we are eternally grateful for the time we shared with him and the cherished memories we will forever hold dear.
