I (Gary) remember Harold fondly. I remember the hard work he was always prepared to do at the Kindefora farm. How he helped me get a job at Westfair Foods when I was just out of school. A very good man indeed! When Harold and Joyce still lived in Birds Hill, Linda and I would walk around on Keedian Drive for exercise and to see if Harold or Joyce were out and about and just maybe there was a garage sale. Rest in peace Harold. Our thoughts are with your family. - Posted by: Gary and Linda Smyrski (Cousins) on: May 03, 2017
