He was ready, willing and able to defend his faith and knowledge of the Gospel, boldly speaking out for truth and right. He was true to his convictions and served his fellowman in whatever capacity he was called upon to serve. Whether in leadershi0p or lay positions, church or civic, he faithfully accomplished every duty required of him with a glad heart.

He was devoted to her, her children and grandchildren and they love him: Owen (Amy), Carolyn, William (Donna), David (Kim), Helen (Dan), Jefferson (Jessica), Golden (Sarah), Emelie (Craig), Anna (Adam) and Esther (Trent). Harold is survived by his wife and friend, Sybil, 40 grandchildren, brothers Brent (Connie) and Lynn (Barbara) Bullock; preceded in death by his son, Sean, stepson, Robert, parents, and sisters Georgia (Don) and Joyce.
