I remember Harold as a kind, loving man with the Lewis sense of humor. When I was very young, Harold came to visit my family in Deer Park, Texas. He brought photos (slides) of Alaska. We were all ready to pack up and go! Harold will be greatly missed.
My Mom just told me that Harold had passed earlier in the year. He was my second cousin and the son of my favorite Great Aunt…Lorene and Great Uncle George. Our family with my Mom Mary Jo…would see relatives at the family reunions in Iowa Park, TX for many years during my childhood. Some of the gatherings we would get to see Harold and family. After 2009, Harold and his wife drove through Deming and we visited in their motorhome. It was a very special time….and remembering the Alaska years and stories Harold told will always be cherished. He was a special christian and wonderful teacher and family man. Prayers to his family for the lateness of this note. Jo Lynn.
