I am sorry to hear of Harold’s passing. I have many fond memories of family gatherings at the lake when I was growing up. Most of all I will remember him for the worlds best hugs and big smile. My condolences to the family.You are in my thoughts and prayers.
He was one of the greatest men I knew. As a child I got to spend many summers, winter breaks at his house with my cousins. It was the best time of my life. You always held a special place in my heart. I love you. May you rest in sweet wonderful peace.
Harold was a special person. He was always following the Honeoye sports teams. He really enjoyed watch the teams grow throughout their high school days and many on to college.

I will miss seeing Harold in the stands at basketball games this winter. He was such a wonderful man who always went out of his way to say hello to me and ask about my kids. He will be missed.
I am so sorry to hear about Harold. He will CERTAINLY be missed, esp. his smile. I feel honored to have been a part of his life. I am thinking of all of his family. Sincerely, Penny and Don Jones
What a special man Harold was! I moved in just across the street from him last Spring and he was the first one to come over and welcome me. He gave his friendship freely as I am certain he did for many in Honeoye. I only knew Harold for a short time but I will miss his smiling face very much. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with the Bernard family during this sad time.
We were sorry about Harold’s passing. He has been a mainstay of our Honeoye community as well as a special person. Our prayers are with the family at this tough time.Carol and Bill Ewert
