We met Harold and his sister Ikie when we collected Beanie Babies, and would sit and talk before the store opened. He was a good man and a good friend. Our deepest sympathy to his family.

Dear Harold,
Haven’t seen you in a long time. However, the 1st time I met you (late 60’s), I could tell you were a good & honorable man whom I would love to have as a friend. Whenever I later ran into you over the years, I never changed my opinion. Your smile and humble manner has been unforgettable for me. May God accept you with open arms & bless you & us all. May you family accept my heartfelt sympathy.
