"Harold to be your step granddaughter was a honor, and I miss you so much! You were such a big help to Mimi! We Love you!

Harold, I will always count you as a mentor of mine.  We will miss your greatness and fore sight in the construction world.  Thank you for the opportunities and challenges you continued to provide..  Sincerely, Howard Olsen

My deepest condolences. Very great person. His memory will live as I continue to pass along anectodes of the few intense  times we met. I have learned a lot from him and as I grow older I think I understand better what he meant.

Margot,
I was glad to have had lunch with Harold on 6/20th at his favorite lunch spot Gibson's. I have known Harold since 1971 and he was a great mentor to me. He was responsible for my moving to Chicago in 1976 and ultimately meeting and marrying Nancy. I was glad you gave Lil his email address.Our deepest condolences to you.
Marvin and Nancy Levine

My deepest condolences to the family.  I was fortunate to know Harold and work with him on homeless issues.  He was a great man, powerful thinker and caring of the world around him.  His commitment to social issues ran deep and he truly gave without recognition.  The world is a little less interesting without him.

Dear Margot,

We were sorry to hear of your loss.   Please know that our thoughts are with you.

Love, 

Joy and David

My deepest condolences to Margot & the family.

I am deeply saddened by this news. We shared such wonderful evenings at the opera together  Harold was a complex, wonderful man with a formidable facade which he used to hide his heart. I will always remember his laugh. My thoughts are with you at this very sad time.
