    I am a first cousin to Harold. The son of his father's sister. We are so sorry to hear of Harold's death. Harold would always have me preach on his radio broadcast when I was in Arab. I sure did enjoy being around him. Our love and prayers are with you all during this time, and if I can ever be of any assistance to you please call me. God bless you. Richard K. Dice, Pastor Christ Church-Kingsport

    Daddy you are our ROCK. We miss you more than words can say but we know you are in Heaven with the LORD. We will see our daddy again one day. So all that see this just be ready to meet our loved ones in heaven one day. Daddy would want everyone to be born again and washed in the blood. I just pray everyone will be ready to meet our LORD and see our loved ones again.
