David, Nancy and family, I am so sorry to hear that Mr. Harbour passed away. I remember seeing him over Christmas when we were home seeing my mom and dad, Carlton and Elaine, his neighbors. I would always enjoy seeing him out in his yard working and then when he and daddy would just sit and talk. I know daddy will miss those times. Please know I am praying for you all during this sad time. Love, Cheryl

I feel extremely fortunate to have met and got to know Mr. Harbour in the last years of his life. He was always nice to me and trusted that I was a decent man with good company surrounding me; which made me feel better about myself. I'm happy to have earned possibly what little respect Mr. Harbour had of me. I didn't know him his whole life, but what I did get to know about Mr. Harbour is that he was very honest, humble, and accepting of life. I'm glad that I got to share a few laughs with him. Now, I believe that Mr. Harbour is in God's Kingdom because I know he turned his life and soul over to the Lord and that he is deserving to be amongst the angels. I am soo glad I was able to meet him.
