I miss Harold every day.  Our memories are cherished. Such a big heart! He still makes me smile :)

Harold was my best friend.  My Harrow :) There will never be another like him. I already miss his calls asking me if I'm ok..do I need anything, and that, he did, right up to the end..even tho.  He was a very giving, warm hearted caring Man.  I feel so lucky to have been in his heart as he is in mine forever.  Deepest condolence to his family. He loved you all so much!!


Harold is my father in law. He had his good and bad days like everyone else, but if we ever needed help with or cars or whatever, he would be there. He used to randomly pop up at times as well, always nice visits. I spent a lot of time with him towards the end and I am glad I had that chance. He will be missed greatly. Luv ya and see you next time! (I always would say that when we would leave) 😔💛

I met Harold in metals shop class at NCHS, 1971.. he was always in that welding booth. Burn’n rods and a cig or two. I made a T- shift grip on the lathe and had just polished it up and Harold said man that’s nice, wanna sell it.? I said ok, 5bucks.. he said ok I’ll get it out of my car.. (never saw that five) but fast forward 10 years and I was at the Farmer City Raceway. I was watching the street stocks and they announced “Driver Harold Roadtramble”. So I trot down to the pits and there he was leaning on his car look’n round. I walk up to him and said Hey You Owe me $5. for that shift handle.!!  He took a puff of his cig., looked me in the eye Shrugged and said well I guess I still owe ya. We both laughed so hard.!  We talked about school, cars, girls. After that we were Friends. If I asked him for something he’d look off like he was think’n about it, 2.2 seconds he’d say ok, or ya.. he was always there to help, Classic give you the shirt off his back guy.  He was a friend to me and I’ll always remember him with good memories.. and if anybody didn’t see,, He was a hell of a good stock car driver.  Dale Earnhardt Style.
To his family I’m sorry for your loss,, God Speed and I’ll pray for your strength. God bless you all.
🇺🇸🙏🏼💔
