Harold will be so very missed. We all remember his and Shirleys visits to Redding. There was no one on earth as much fun as Harold. He was so much like Papa Lyle it was amazing. Our son instantly bonded with him and will never forget him. Him and Shirley both, left life long impressions on all our lifes. We only wish we had more time them. We love you uncle Harold and will see you again in heaven!

We are deeply sorry for your loss, Uncle Harold was a very kind person. I'll never forget when he and Aunt Shirley came to Redding Ca and we went fishing on my boat on lake Shasta and Uncle Harold had his pole rigged up very different than I, and for the life of him he couldn't figure out why I was catching the fish and he wasn't! Aunt Shirley and I where laughing so hard he so determined to catch a big one.I will never forget both of them.
Much Love,
Kim Crider, Becky Crider Weigel, Kelsey Crider

He will be truly missed. Such a wonderful friend. We will be keeping you all close to our hearts and praying that the peace of the Lord will cover you all in this time. I believe he is "Home" and he and your mother are having a wonderful reunion. We were able to spend some time with him this summer while we were visiting in Arkansas and are so thankful for that. R.I.P. our friend. Thank you Phyllis for all that you have done also. Much love to you all. Sheila, Marty and Morgan (Middleton) Salsman
