We are so glad we were able to share in celebrating Harolds 90th birthday at his wonderful party. He looked so happy to have so many friends and family around to help him celebrate. Both he and Rosie always embraced our family with love.We will always remember that. Nice now to think of him and Rosie together again.
What a joy to see Rosie and Harold sitting near the front door of Living Hope Christian Fellowship every Sunday morning. Such wonderful greeters they were!!
Even after Rosie’s passing Harold was always in the foyer to greet all who came in.
I’m sure Rosie said to him when he passed away that it was about time he joined her.
Harold, you will be missed by so many as you touched numerous people’s lives.
Sherry and Tammy you were wonderful care givers.
Love and prayers to the family.
We are so sad to hear of Harold’s passing. We enjoyed visiting with both Harold and Rosie over the years at family gatherings at Ted and Donna Moore’s home. He will be missed here but he must be rejoicing being with His heavenly Father, his Savoir he longed to see, and with his beloved Rosie.
Harold always treated me like I was one of his own children. I have been freinds with his daughter Janice for 32 years. He is now with his wife Rosie and they are with the lord together. You will be missed. RIP Harold. AKA…The Hug man
Harold was a great blessing and encouragement to us both. Although he had only met us a few times during visits to Minnesota, he called at least once a year to chat with us and get an update on what the Lord was doing in our lives. Our prayers are with his family in this time of loss but we also celebrate with them a life well lived.
Uncle Harold was a man of God who deeply loved his wife and family. It was a privilege to know him, Aunt Rosalie, and their children. May God comfort you during this time.
Love and prayers, Helene Short and Ken Kahlstorf
I remember the summer Uncle Harold and his family spent with the Carl Bjorklund’s in Brainerd. My cousins and I had a fun adventures.
Love you Dad and miss you but rejoicing with you cause I know you are with your Lord who you loved emensly and are now talking with Him face to face and basking in His love! What a wonderful place to be!
Harold is now with his beloved Rosie in Heaven. He will be greatly missed by all of his family and many friends. We love you Dad!
