Diagnosed in March 2013 with acute lymphoid leukemia, Harold lived with his illness the same way he had lived his life: with courage, a sense of humor, and optimism. Noble and graceful as his body failed him, he will be remembered as a loving husband and father, friend, colleague, mentor, uncle, and a wonderful man.
