Harold loved his Lord and Savior Jesus and was always eager to share the love of Christ with all that he would meet. He was a great family man and a loving daddy, papa, brother, uncle and friend. He was dedicated to his community and was deeply involved in ministry, carrying the gospel through word and song to many churches and rest homes throughout Onslow, Duplin and Jones counties. He enjoyed playing gospel/bluegrass music and playing ball/couching ball with many over the years. His family and friends will always remember him as an outgoing, humble man and always giving of everything he had to others.

All are welcome to attend and celebrate Harold's life. The family would like to thank all our family, friends and members of the community that have shown us love and care with their overwhelming generosity and support during this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Elizabeth Simpson.
