Harold was always so kind. I often saw him in the rendezvous and he knew my grandpa. He would also ride on harbor transit...and so did my younger daughter Anuhea...he was always so kind to her and gave her candy. She is pretty sad today. Harold was a great man who will be missed by all that were lucky enough to know him. My condolences to the family💖
Cindi,& family. Sorry for your loss .We would sit with your dad quite ofen at the Rendezvous and he would occasionally pull out a pic of our Daughter Veronica that she had given him when she was in H.S. Although we would like to forget our birthdays he never did. Always a card. And, yes a walking Encyclopedia of the area. If we needed to know something it was like. Let's ask Harold.He will be missed. God Bless
Cyndi, Troy and Ian -- I am sorry to hear of Harold's passing. He was such a wonderful neighbor. After I moved from Prospect Street I frequently encountered him at, of course, the Rendezvous! He was always so quick to greet me and take a moment to chat. I am sure that you miss him so much, but hope you can find some comfort that he has now moved on to the next great road trip. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Your father was an amazing man. He was friends with my husbands grand father who sat with him everyday at the Rendezvous, Vern has been gone for 20 years though. I met Harold when i was a waitress at rendezvous at 16 i am now 44 and your father has continued to send my family a Christmas Card every year! I just seen him at Walmart a few months ago i am so glad i was able to see him. Our deepest condolences! The King Family
