I have chosen a blue candle in honor of Harold's beautiful blue eyes - eyes that were passed down through the generations and given to my beautiful grandson, Michael Thomas Stoltenberg...Harold will be remembered for these and his warm & friendly smile. He was always so warm & pleasant, and I enjoyed visiting with him. May the angels hold him in their caring arms as I express my sympathy to dear Shirley, Dan and Mike.....he was surely one of the BEST!
Respectfully,

What we will remember most about Harold is his love of life and how much he cherished his friends. He was a hard worker, so generous with his time and talents to anyone in need. When Harold and my Dad, Carl Becker, came to our house in Iowa to help us cut wood, they wanted to keep on working even after the chain saws were ready to quit! We will raise a toast in his honor and miss him greatly! Our loving thoughts and prayers are with you Shirley and the family.
Hugs,
Gale and Clint Mote
