Like so many others who knew and cared about Harold, I want to offer my deepest sympathy on his passing. I had the pleasure of working with Harold while he served on the Special District Association (SDA) Board of Directors. The SDA staff knew we could count on Harold, no hesitation, he would be there to help, it didn't matter how big or how small the job was. He was a one of a kind.

Harold has touched so many lives in his 22 years of service to his community with his dedication to the Fountain Sanitation District, SDA and the Fountain City Council. His life was indeed a life well lived.

Sincerely,
Donna Alengi

Harold, I'm going to miss you, your laughter and sense of humor. We used to be neighbors years ago, and for a long time when I would see you, you would always say, "hello, ex-neighbor!"
