Unfortunately I did not know Harold Edward Boone but I feel I can judge the goodness of the man by knowing the son he helped become the man I do know. My condolences to Harold Wayne and his family and friends for their great loss, but Harold Elwood Boone’s legacy will live on. Peace, Mike

Harold, Marilyn, and Family,
We are very sorry for your loss. Harold was such a great guy. I enjoyed bowling with him many Tuesday nights on our bowling league. We were fortunate to have seen Harold and Marilyn at CVS just a few months ago. He never lost that smile of his. Harold, you have that same great smile and you look so much like your dad. We all have only to see you to remember him. He will definitely be missed by all who were most fortunate to have known him. Our heartfelt sympathy to you.
Thank you for the kind words about my Dad. He will be missed. I hope to see you all at the local car cruises this summer!
Very sorry for your loss Harold! Martha (aka Louise) and Lee!!
Thank you for your thoughts Lee and Martha. I had 66 years of learning from him and he will always be with me.
