He loved traveling to Georgia and Florida to visit his kids, and especially his granddaughter Harper.
A special shout out to Billy Russ and Tim Shannon for your kindness and compassion during these last few months to help us with Harold. It meant more than you will ever know.
There are no services due to Harold’s presence being requested by the late Tommy Magner, who had already announced Harold’s arrival to his many past family and friends all of whom were anxiously waiting for him at the The Heavens Office Tavern. In attendance, just to name just a few, are Paul, Bozo, and many other previously passed family and friends, all of which will be celebrating and toasting Harold’s arrival. Cheers and God Bless to all.
Arrangements are in the care of the Dain-Cullinan Funeral Home.
