I am writing this today as a 36-year-old father of three boys, looking back with immense gratitude for the massive impact Harold had on my life. I met Harold back in 2007 when I was a 17-year-old kid trying to finish my Eagle Scout project before my 18th birthday. Despite our 53-year age gap—and the occasional struggles that came with it—he never gave up on me. He helped me cross the finish line with Scouting, spent hours helping me study for the ASVAB, and even got me a job at Hydrotaste Farms. He is the reason I joined the Air Force. I regret letting the busyness of life and moving away cause us to lose touch, but I want his family to know that his legacy lives on in the life I built and the values I am teaching my own sons today. Rest in peace, Harold. You and Elaine are deeply missed.
