We just finished attending our first Colorado Grand Lodge session without Harold Johnson. It went OK, but for many there was a definite void… that will be there for us for sometime to come. Harold continues to be in our thoughts and conversation, a great man, a great Mason, and a great friend.

Harold was a great friend to many many people, he always had a hug and a smile for me. I truely enjoyed the time I worked with him at the Grand Lodge. He was the best jokester around. I had some great times with Harold, and will always remember him with respect and great fondness. I will miss him.
