I am so sorry Gail to hear about Harold's passing.  I spent a couple of bike week trips with Sean and Harold and ran into him last August at Living Word Worship Center's Jamb For the Lamb.  It was great seeing and visiting with him.   Harold was one of the sweetest people that I have ever met.  I am truly sorry for your loss.   Yours was a match made in heaven.

This was taken at my wedding. So sorry for your loss Gail. Harold was a great man who will be missed. I enjoyed getting to know him through Charlie.
Love Hannah and Karl

Enjoyed working  with Harold at Stahls Museum. Memories of his kind words in helping others. Knowledgeable, caring person, and great guy, he will be missed. Condolences to his family.

All of us at the Ford Piquette Plant are deeply saddened at Harold's passing. For those of us fellow Window Team volunteers, we're especially feeling his loss.  Harold, a longtime volunteer helped shape what is today a very productive restoration program. Harold blessed us all.

Dear Gail,
Thinking of you during this difficult  time.  Harold was always such a beautiful loving brother in Christ to all of the brethren at the Detroit congregation.   He wiil be deeply missed.   We await the resurection, when we will see Harold and all our loved ones again.  God will wipe away all our tears.

All My Love,
Mary Ellen Kripke

Though I've only known Harold for a few short years, I found him to be one of the most congenial people I've ever met. His kindness and warmth, along with his great smile, made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. It was as though I had known him for years. I soon realized that he made everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him, feel the same way. Tim and I will miss you dearly, but know that you will be in our hearts forever. With Love,
Tim and Vanessa Graves

My condolences to Gail Tiburzi and the rest of the family.  Harold was not only a great guy, but was so knowledgeable when it came to automotive engineering.  As a Ford engineer, he was both creative and innovative.
    He was my brother in the Lord Jesus Christ and I am proud to have known him for the short time when I met him.  He will be missed by us all and was a gift to our lives, a gift of joy, laughter, and was like family.
    Harold, we'll see you once again in God's eternal kingdom.  May God's kingdom come soon so we might see you once again.
    Carl Binion (Harold and Gail's brother at United Church of God)

Dear Gail,  we are truly sorry for your loss. Harold and yourself were not just wonderful neighbors but second parents to us all.  We hope that the memories and support of your family and friends will be your comfort in the days to come.
Our dad, Mike always enjoyed spending time visiting with Harold as well.

Mr. Tiburzi  
Mr. T
Harold

I've known him by any and all of these names over the past 52 years.

It was he who taught me to braze that leaky snowmobile gas tank while in middle school at Hickory. 

Little did I know at the time, but many years passed before we found one another again and were reacquianted through our love of cars, and I am so glad we did!

Rest in peace Mr. Harold Tiburzi, it was an honor to have invested time with you and you with me.

May the good Lord provide comfort to your family and friends during this most difficult time and may Mr. T rest peacefully until we meet again.✝️

Claudia was fighting cancer and they always got together, and always talked about missing Vern.

Kevin and Harold spent allot of time together, Kevin keeps his fishing boat at Harold’s and he also went fishing sometimes.

I’m sure that someone from the family took a picture of Harold and/or Ronnie or Vern like this.

Always was taking kids or any willing person for a ride in his cars.

Harold bought this 32 in Phoenix, Arizona when Ron, Harold and Ed went to visit all car sales and shows.

One year family get together to Visit Claudia’s grave site at VA Cemetery in Holly, Mi

Two days together on GM power tour, lots of fun!

Harold and Gail are long lost friends from 40+ years ago.  Thankfully, we reconnected in May, 2025 at the auto museum.  What a great place for Harold to spend his time. 

God bless!

Greg & Arlene Rodriguez

Loved motorcycles with side cars as well, giving a ride at a car show go figure!

So sorry for your loss. I had Mr. T for Jr. High metal shop. I will never forget him. I taught me things I have used my entire life.

We are utterly heartbroken at the loss of Harold.  He was one of the best volunteers we had on staff.  He would always lend a hand whether it was escorting a visitor, helping a young child into a car, or cleaning the floor.  He was the happiest person we knew, always wearing a smile.  And always talking about his sweet Gail.  We are so very sorry for your loss, he will be missed.

First met Harold when we both worked at Carron & Company.  He was great to work with, very knowledgeable and accurate at any project he did. Glad I had the pleasure of knowing Harold, he will be missed. Rest In Peace.

My thoughts and my prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

I worked with Harold on many projects together at Carron &Co. 80s thru 90s and always enjoyed his company,  he was smart and such a sweet man and we always clicked. ❤️  Rest in Peace 🙏 brother 💙  prayers for the family during this difficult time.

Many great rides on our bikes. US 1 to the end (key West). Route 66 till we could see the Rockies. Then turned left to Arizona bikeweek.  Many Daytona bikeweek trips.  A couple Biketoborfest trips. Myrtle Beach bikeweek.  Many lunch time excursions at FOMOCO.  Thanks Chro....for the memories.  
P.s. Chro is the name bikers give to the guy who sticks chrome every place he can on his 2 wheeler.  Love ya pal. We'll ride again one day. (Not to soon tho)

Very sorry to the family of Mr. T. I still use my middle school metal shop project from his class in the early 80's at Warren Woods Middle School. 💙💛

I worked with Harold in Advance Powertrain for a number of years.   We worked on  a lot of fun projects together.  He was a very knowledgeable person and an honor to work with.   Always upbeat and wanting to know how the family was doing.   My kids loved sitting in his truck with Tweety Bird at the car shows.   He would do anything for you.    He will be missed very much.   Prayers to Gail and the family.

Gail and family,
My sincere sympathy for your loss. Harold not only was a great friend since I was young, but a great teacher and sharer of knowledge. He was one of those people you wish you had more time to spend with to learn from and help one another. Unfortunately family, work and life draws you in multiple directions but he was always in my mind, and I’m sure will always remain in my thoughts ever so favorably.

I didn't know that we'd lost Chro... that's the name his biker pals affectionately gave him. That because he LOVED chrome all over his scooters. Harold & I rode many miles together.  US1 to the end.  (Key West)...  Route 66 from St. Louis to somewhere in the plains where we had to turn around so we could get to Arizona bikeweek on time. But best of all...many trips to Daytona bikeweek.  Truly phenomenal good times. 
His gorgeous bride Gail....was never far from his mind. He bragged (rightfully so) about her constantly.  Seems to me ...a match made in heaven.  
  Chro... love ya brother... we'll do another ride together one day

I am so very sad to hear of Harold’s passing.  He and I both taught at Warren Woods Middle School.  He was a joy to chat with, always up-beat with a delightful sense of humor.  He will be remembered fondly by many…both students and teachers.

Gail, I was so sorry to hear of Cousin Harold’s passing. From what I’ve read and the photos posted on Stahls Automotive Facebook page, he touched many lives with warmth and generosity, and I know he will be deeply missed.  It’s a shame our paths have not crossed over the years. 

Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss.

With sympathy,
Jim & Vicki Tiburzi

I had the privilege of working with Harold at Ford Motor Co. until I retired. Harold was one of the best technical people that I ever worked with. He was truly a "man of many talents". His competence and quite leadership was motivation to all who worked with him. He was loved and respected by everyone who had contact with him and he was equal to any task or challenge, He was a volunteer at the Stahals Motor Museum, the Selfridge ANG Base Corsair restoration project, and FORD Model T (T-Plex) Museum, and likely others. He was a "car guy" in the truest sense of the word. From growing up in Dearborn with a bunch of hot rod guys to building an eclectic of serious hot cars and cool cruisers. He was a gentle man and a fried to all that knew him. He will always have a special place in my heart.

My condolences to the family.  I worked with Harold at the Ford Pequitte Plant restoration project.   He always had a smile on his face and a positive aura about him.  Willing to help out with anything.  Giving very informative tours on the history of the cars on display.  A wonderful guy.  He will be greatly missed.  
May he rest in peace and his memory be blessed.
