My deepest sympathy to your family. He was quite a guy. Always enjoyed seeing him. In friendship, Laurie Wiebe
Harrold was a great friend to our family down through the years. He helped my uncle Chris farm while my Dad Palmer was serving in the Korean War and he and my Dad remained friends to the end. I’ll always remember his quick smile and friendly demeanor growing up on the farm and in the years afterwards.
We had hoped to visit him this summer but were unable to due to the pandemic. He will certainly be missed.
My deepest sympathies to you all
Dalyce and family,
Sorry to hear that your Father passed away. He had a Great Long Life, but it is never easy to loss a loved one. You and your family are in out thoughts and prayers! LOVE YA!
Dalyce and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Harrold’s passing. He was always happy to see us and he enjoyed the Johnson reunions, especially the drive-by 100th birthday greetings. Thanks !
We are unable to attend his service but will say prayers for all of you.
