Dear Brenda and Family.
What a wonderful picture of Harold and that beautiful smile he has always had. I could go on and on about growing up next door and all of the childhood stuff we did, I will briefly however share one memory..
Harold and I, with a little help from his very handy dad, turned a small pipe into a homemade cannon. We stuffed it with nuts and bolts from the Dye garage, and using matches we took from my dad’s funeral home, managed to create an explosive so powerful that it ripped holes into and through a 55 gallon drum that was stored in Harold’s backyard. Well after several firings, and with each blast the cannon doing backflips, Mr Dye came outside and proceeded to squelch our attempt of further damaging that poor drum.
I have not seen you or Harold in years, but no doubt he was that outstanding husband and grandfather described in his obituary. Know that I will forever treasure that cannon memory and the many others!
With sincere condolences,
Doug Dickmann
