I was so sad to hear that Harold passed… I always loved spending time with him and Wava. My condolences…Teresa Schimmel
Lance sorry to hear about Harold. I always had a lot of fun with Harold and your mom a lot of good memories were made down on the corner setting on the back porch.
I’m so sorry to hear this I always he’d fun talking to him. My prayers are with the family
Lance and family, my heart is so heavy after hearing about Harolds passing. The only thing that makes it bearable is knowing he is with Wava now. I bet she was talking to someone and saw him coming and said (here comes the old fart now!) I miss them both so much! We all have some really good memories. Sending love and prayers for your family, Lisa

Sorry to hear about Harold
Will miss seeing him outside waving when you went by
Always looked to see if his lights were in or if he was out and about
He enjoyed the community dinners at the church usually sent some home with him for the next day he was anyways the first one there
Sorry to hear of Harolds passing. He used to come into the grocery store and give me hell all the time when I was a kid working there. Had great times with Harold and Wava. Will always remember the basement New Years Eve party. What a great couple they were.
Lance& Family
Sorry to hear of Harold’s passing. Wava and him were always a hoot to be around and Harold had some unique advice/humor at times. He’ll be missed.
RIP Fair Winds Following Seas neighbor.
Harold was a good friend of my dad and so by default became a friend of mine. From his fire cracker stand to the ” great pig hunt of 94″ my memories of ” Pierre ” bring joy to my heart. Harold is one of the many reasons I am proud to be from Lecompton. Godspeed my friend.
So sorry for Harold’s passing. He’ll really be missed.
I worked with Harold for 20 years at Farmland. Harold & Wava were great friends of ours. So sorry to hear of his passing. He was a sweet guy, a little ornery, but that’s why we loved him. Rest In Peace.
