I was so sad to read about Harold's passing. I worked for him for the last 3 years he owned Chief Heating & Gas and I'll always remember what a kind, strong man he was. He gave me a chance to learn a trade, and I'll never forget him.

Linda,

I am so VERY SORRY to hear that Harold died Friday (5/5/06). Donna and I were just speaking fondly of him yesterday (5/6/06) remembering different happenings that involved us over the years. He must have been making his presence know to she and I from his heavenly place.



This morning Fran said she and Floyd were just talking about him yesterday (5/6/06). Here again he must have been sending thoughts to them.



Harold, as well as you, are both a fond memory of my personal history...he as my supervisor at Regional Building (1975) and you from the time you came to Regional Building including your marriage. My mind is full of FOND and full memories of you both. Please KNOW that my prayers are with YOU and your ENTIRE FAMILY! Love Dianne

I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. I worked with Mr. Ellis at Regional Building Department and then after he retired I would often see him working in the field.
