What a great man We had some great times
I was sorry to hear of the passing of Harold. I knew of him, primarily through my mother, Marie (Hrabik) Kula, who was his aunt. He would occasionally visit her over the years. She always spoke highly of him and his family. It is truly the passing of a generation.
Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed… beyond measure!
Harold was the Will Rodgers of Omaha. He barely knew me and went out of his way to help me. I didn’t know him well but am extremely grateful we met.
I offer my sincere condolences.

Dear Rita and family, We will always remember Harold fondly for being so kind to our Donna, his baby sister. May his life and your memories give you comfort.
Thank you Rita for you and Harold being so good to my Mom.
A great uncle and a good brother to my mother Donna.
Ron, thinking of you at this time of loss and sending sympathy. Nothing can describe the loss of a parent.
I didn’t have the pleasure to know Harold or Rita but I do know his son Doug. A man who glorifies God The Father & his son Jesus Christ. If Doug’s faith is what Harold’s is , I cower at my lesser amount. Go with God in all things.
