For the family of Harold. We were deeply saddened to see your father/grandfather’s obituary in the paper. He was a customer of our repair shop, Joy’s Service Center, for years. We always enjoyed his visits, we talked about coming here after church, etc. He especially talked last about his move to Reflection Ridge Retirement Center. He said that the food was good and really enjoyed living there. He will be missed. Joy’s Service Center and Staff.
Mark, Kim and families, My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
Dear Family, We will mourn the loss of great uncle Harold. I remember going to see him at the co-op with grandpa Stanley when we were kids, and I will always be grateful for our wedding, where Harold and Luella lead everyone in the wedding march – it will be a favorite memory of mine. Sending you prayers and hugs, Kodi (Vogel) Wilson & family
