To the Family of this galliant warrior who I had the privilege to fly with and to serve under him as a Specialist 5th Class, and behind him as his crew chief on our gunship, condolences are sent promptly as I learn of Harold's passing. We flew down to Australia together on R&R; and it was on that plane ride that I was able to experience his wonderful humor and testing wit. Lt. Schalm got our butts out of some tight situations, and I never saw him lose his cool.. As WO Collier said, I concure.....The Almighty has Schwalm flying with the best of them....fighting the good fight somewhere. I prey these words help in some small way at this time in your lives.

I went through the Armor Officer Basic Course at Fort Know, KY with Harold.  Then I was fortunate enough to venture through flight school with him.  He was a wonderful friend and officer.  I enjoyed riding in his prized 57 Chevy that he had, when I knew him in the service.  After Vietnam, Harold and I we reunited at Fort Rucker, AL for the balance of our military active service.  I hope his old Army buddy Jack Devant knows of his passing. 
During my service in Vietnam, I got to visit with Harold in country a few times, which were always exciting events, since he was a gunship pilot and had loads of great adventures to relate.  He flew the old UH-1M in Vietnam, and he was a great pilot.  
I have just relocated to Iowa recently from the East coast, and I wanted to reconnect with Harold.  I was shocked to find a notice of his passing.  I will miss him.  He was a great friend to me and my family in the Army.

Dear Patty, Dan & Pennie,
I was shocked -- and still am -- when I received Patty's card yesterday afternoon telling me of Harold's passing. 
Harold and I go back over 45 years having met at CSU as 18 year old Freshmen. We remained in contact for all those subsequent years. Harold was a true friend and a wonderful character. He was always himself with a great sense of humor and more empathy than ten others combined.
I am so sorry for your loss; our world has lost a terrific man.

Patty, Dan, and Pennie. 
We were so sorry to hear about your husband and father.  What a tragic loss.  May your memories carry you through through your grief.
David, Vicky, Nathan, and Jessica Sprague

Schwalm Family,
Harold was truley an American Hero.  I always looked up to Harold.  With that big smile He always had.  A true Friend and Mentor to all.  Harold always found time to joke and make light of stressful situations. I ejoyed working for him on the Fire Department.

Dear Patty, Danie, and Pennie,
I am missing my brother so much already. After losing 2 brothers and 1 sister in 15 months, I am heartbroken. He was so generous, loving, supportive and a true friend. He loved his family and friends above all, and they loved him. It is so heartwarming, knowing that he made such a great impression on so many people's lives. We will miss his wit and humor. May God comfort you and know that we will always be there for you if you need anything. Love you.

Patty, Dan and Pennie,
Please know that our prayers and thoughts are being sent your way to let you know how much we care and share in your loss. We will always remember Harold as a loving husband to you Patty and a caring and devoted father to Dan and Pennie during our U.H. days together. God be with you all now and the days ahead.

Dear Pennie,
WE are truly sad for the loss of your Father.  WE did not know your Dad well, but I know he did one thing remarkable in this world and that is give us YOU!  A beautiful young woman with  a confirmed and honest personality that can only be nurtured from a loving parent. I know your Dad is in a GREAT place in heaven among many other GREAT Fathers.  Love Sherry

We didn't lose Harold as we know exactly where he's at!  We have lost a father, husband, brother-in-law, friend and mentor.  But God has gained one caring, brave and witty angel.  Love, Debbie

Dear family, 
Our sincere sympathy in your loss. I always felt close to all of your family, we have been friends so long. I admired Harold in his fireman career and know he helped a lot of people, more than he knew.  May the Lord bless and comfort you. 
Marilee (Shern) and Gary Jeffers

Patty,
I'm deeply saddened at the loss of Harold. I have fond memories of our high school days and of a very special guy. God Bless and be with you and your family.
Jean Nelson Esser

My sense of loss is overcome by the moments I shared with Harold, which are of some of the best memories of my life.
Harold, I was truly privileged to know you.
You have influenced me more than you know. 
I?'ll never forget your humor, generosity and sincerity.
It is an honor to be your friend.

Patty and family,
I was greatly saddened at the loss of Harold.  It just seems like yesterday we were in high school together, laughing and feeling immortal.  I wish I had spent more time with you all. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.  I'm so sorry for your loss.

It is so sad to read the news of the friends we had when Johnstown was so small and we all knew each other.  I am praying for your family.  Bonnie(Snow) Trussel

Patty, Danny & Pennie, we are so sorry for your lose.  I will miss Harold more than you will ever know.  I hope Harold knew that he was one my most loved friends from the days we were together.  when ever we were back in Greeley I never missed stopping to see Harold.  Someone once asked me why I liked (loved) Harold so much.  And I could only say, because he listened; he was one of my heros;  And, he was the best Lieutenant I ever had.  Oh will I miss Harold's emails!!!
  You will be in our hearts and prayers for many months to come.  Arnold & Donna (Surprise, AZ)

Dear Patty, Dan & Pennie:
God blessed us all for years having Harold here.  This community has never seen such a friendly, positive servant of a man who helped everyone he could. Our sympathies and prayers are with you all.

It came as quite a surprise to me to hear of Harolds passing.My brothers and i enjoyed pheasant hunting with Harold every October in South Dakota. I only met Harold 5 years ago in S.D. but the man was wonderful always laughing joking and looking to get a fast one on sombody. I had many good times with Harold over the last 5 years even though it was only for a long weekend. He will be sadly missed by me and the hunting crew.But i am sure he will live on with us when we are there.
           Sincerly, Jason Perry

It was a privilege to serve with Harold on the Greeley Fire Dept back in the early 80s. We both served in 'Nam. May God bless his family at this hour . . . .

Patty, Dan and Pennie,  
We are so shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of Harold.  He was such a kind man, wonderful father and husband and a great servant to all.  You are in our hearts.

Patty,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.  May God Bless you and your family and comfort you.

I am so sorry to hear of Harold's passing.  He lived a wonderful life full of service to humanity.  I thank him for his service.  I hope you can find peace knowing his was a life well lived.

I am sad to know Harold is no longer with us.  He was a good man and had many people who loved him.  The world is a little less wonderful without him.  I know his family and freinds will miss him and am sorry for their loss.

I was so shocked to hear of Harold's passing.  I have many fond memories of him from high school. My deepest sympathy to his family at this very difficult time.

Patty and Family, 
We are very sad to hear of Harold's  passing.  He was a great firefighter, mentor and friend.  He welcomed us warmly when we came to Greeley and both of us had some wonderfully fun times with his great sense of humor.  He and I, both being '46ers, shared a lot of values and perspectives.  I miss our conversations and will cherish those moments and his friendship for the rest of my life.  Please know that he is in a better place and take comfort in the memories that you have.

Patty and family;
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of Harold.  My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Your family is in our prayers during these dificult times. To all the friends and family we give our condolences

Patty, Penny & Dan
Terri and I offer our deepest condolences to you all.  The world has lost a very honorable and loving man.  It has been 40 years since we were  in Viet Nam together and formed a brother in arms bond that is unexplainable to most.  Harold was one of the most sincere leaders I had the privilege to serve with and laugh with during a very trying time.  He could make very dark times brighter by just being himself.  I know he is flying an old UH-1 gunship, smiling on his way to heaven.
With Deepest Sympathy,

We would like to offer our condolences to your family for your recent loss. It would appear that Mr. Schwalm was loved by many people and family members. We wanted offer a word of encouragement from the Bible, that has helped us deal with the sting of death. We know first and foremost that Jesus tells us that those who have died are simply sleeping and he will resurrect those people back to life, as he did in the past. (John 11:11-14, 5:28) Solomon too said that those that have died are in no pain or suffering. (Eccl 9:5,10) But under God's Kingdom that Jesus told us to pray for, we will see our dead loved ones again and death and pain and suffering will be things of the past. Jesus promised us a better life in a Paradise earth. We must pray for God's Kingdom so that we can see these things come to be fulfilled and the dead to rise again! (Dan 2:44; Psalm 37:11, 29; Isaiah 33:24; Matthew 6:9,10; Revelation 21:3-4) God will bring an end to this troubled life that we now know very soon!

Patty, Dan and Pennie,
Our hearts are heavy with sadness for your loss.  We have tucked you in our prayers as your family mourns the loss of Harold, a fine husband, father, and man.   God Bless.
Garth, Maggie and John Allen

Patty and family,
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Harold.  May your memories comfort you.  My deepest sympathy goes out to you.
Kathi Kline (Fahrenbruch)

Dear Patty, Penny & Dan,
Words cannot express my sorrow for you, nor my personal grief, at learning of Harold's passing.    He was one of the greatest friends I ever had; a true Brothers-In-Arms.   My heart is broken and I will never forget him.   Even though it was 40 years ago, I can still remember him and me joking around and teasing each other after missions in Vietnam with a camaraderie that only those who experienced that situation could understand.    And, I remember it as though it were yesterday.       
      	Please accept my most sincere sympathy and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.   
With Deepest Sympathy,

Patty,Danny, and Pennie,
I am so so sorry about your loss.  Harold was such a supportive father and parent throughout our years of working together at the Lab School.  I am sending hugs and loving thoughts to all of you. 
Nancy Richardson

It was an honor to know Harold.  More than a fellow soldier, more than a fellow public safety guardian, he was a true friend.  Harold believed that the season for giving is year 'round and genuinely lived his life that way. ""Welcome Home!

Words cannot express how sad we are to no longer have Harold in our lives! From the time he hired on with the Greeley Fire Dept. and he and I started working together, I knew my life would never be the same. From sharing our experiences in VietNam, he a commissioned officer and Army Helicopter pilot and me a Marine grunt, the jabs and jokes,smiles and tears will never be forgotten. Thank You Harold for nearly 40 years of memories!! Love Ya Bro

Patty,
Carol and I were saddened to hear of the loss of your husband, Harold. You are in our prayers and thoughts. May God console you and help you during this tender time.

Patty and family - I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Harold.  Hoping your period of grief diminishes with time, but that the memories of Harold remain clear and strong.  Our condolences and our wish for peace to settle in your hearts.            John and Chris Miller

Miss you already Harold, you had a profound influence on me and my family, sometimes in the most understated ways.  I've learned over the years that sometimes the most important things that happen to you occur in situations, or with seemingly benign comments are those things which you recall with total clarity and the meaning of those incidents @/or comments remain with you for the rest of your life.  I wish I had the chance to be blessed with a million more ""Haroldisms"", but I will have to make do with what I have.  Also,  THANK YOU for the support you gave me when Shane was killed, you words, given your experiences meant so much to me and the family.  You will never be forgotten, and our love for you will never fade or lessen.

I was shocked to learn of the loss of Harold.  It seems only yesterday we were double-dating at the drive-in and coming to Greeley and going around dizzy-block together.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Patty and Dan, I'm so sorry to read of Harold's death. I will be playing in a Denver table tennis tournament on the 8th so won't be able to make the event at church. My husband was only 52, so I know what it's like to lose someone so young. I wish you peace. God bless.  Love, Nancy Ross

An American Hero, A Greeley Hero and a hero to me personally.  He was so much to so many.  Harold you made such an impact on my life and it was an honor to call you friend and be called the same by you.  Patty, Danny and Penny, thank you for sharing your wonderful husband and father with us. We loved him dearly and is missed so much already.

We send our deepest sympathies to your family.  Harold was a wonderful and kind man.  We appreciated how well he treated Derrick and Mallory through their ups and downs.  Your family is so special to us!
