Harold was the most unselfish man anyone could ever have known. He went without to make sure his family was taken care of. Harold was an amazing husband and best friend to his wife, Karen, for 30 years. Karen was the love of his life and would not hesitate to let anyone know that. He loved to fish and sit under his shade tree until his health took him away from it. That relaxed him more than anything. Thanksgiving was his favorite, having our combined family together. We will cherish our memories and see you in heaven. Pallbearers will be Kenny Cowart, Casey Hall, Michael Shirley, Cory Whittaker, Andrew Hedrick, Johnathan Shirley, Chris Stewart, Billy Hudgins and Mason Haywood. Honorary pallbearers are Amedisys Home Health and Hospice employees, Dr. James Geyer, Dr. Larry Skelton, Paige Robertson, Russell Weeden, all Hale County EMS Employees and all employees of County Line Grocery. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to Amedisys Home Health and Hospice in Harold's honor.
