Harold was a good man, husband and father, he never met a stranger he didn’t like. He loved family cookouts and gatherings, loved spending time with family especially with his children and grandchildren, whether it was going to Kings Dominion or just hanging out. He loved the Raiders football team, rock music (especially KISS) and his pets, Bae Bae, who is in heaven waiting on him, Scooby and Dallas who will miss him dearly.
Harold attended Charlottesville High School and worked many jobs such as Standard Produce, Carter’s Bread and driving tractor trailers which was his absolute favorite job to do.
We would like to express our gratitude to the University of Virginia Cancer Center for their exceptional care.
