Harold and Wilma have been long-time members of Faith in Isanti. Harold will be remembered for his years of service and guidance on church projects and always being able and willing to help. He has and will be missed. May God bless us all with wonderful memories.
Harold will be missed and remembered by so many who knew him and knew how he was always willing to make a difference for others. One in particular that I admired was his determination to take JJ, Sue Larson’s grandson, under his wing. He loved that little guy and if he could ask today, he would want to know what he is doing now. I also loved his contribution of wood products that he made for our silent auctions. Blessings to Wilma, his support always.
Sending my love and prayers to your family. I work at Minnco Credit Union. I had the great honor to help Harold the best I could always . He will be missed dearly
I’m so sorry Wilma for the loss of Harold. My parents loved that The cabins were sin the same resort. I have memories of Harold taking us on the pontoon and showing us the baby eagles learning to fly. …The fireworks watching at your cabin because you do have the best view. He was a wonderful man. I always think of Harold when I see someone in overhauls!
Harold was always good for a laugh or a fishing tip when we were up at the cabin. He would always be putzing around just like my grandpa so they got along perfectly. I can still hear his laugh and see his smile! Thinking of you, Wilma, during this hard time.

I loved stopping by and talking with uncle Harold and Wilma shooting the breeze. He was a kind man and wished i’d take him up on going to his cabin in Wisc. R.I.P and say hello to Cindy from me her cousin Cathy….
Our thoughts and prayers for comfort during this sad time in your life. Harold was always helpful in his service to our church. We were saddened when we heard of his passing.
