No. Harold was a good man.
He helped the poor and served in various capacities, our community. He was steadfast to his principles, loyal beyond words to his country as was recognized by our government for his actions in arms during the Korean Conflict, held true to his word and paid both his debts and his way through life.
He not only was a elder in his church, but lived it's teachings.
I never heard him raise his voice to another man, nor say anything about him he hadn't said to his face.
He personified the farm personalities that settled our plains.
I am certain that if the Pearly Gates were opened for anyone I have known, they were opened for Harold.
He was ornery, though.
I wasn't implying he didn't eventually get in-just maybe that they made him sit on his ass and wait for a while.
Best,
Ted
