I am so sorry I am just hearing of Harold's
passing. I went in this morning to drop my car
off and asked where was Harold. I learned the
unfortunate news. I would always bring Harold a
memento from the Master's Golf tournament and
wanted to see what he wanted this year. I am
still in shock and disbelief. I will truly miss
this kind, gentle soul!

I was a customer of Bill Gatton living in
Kingsport and Harold would pick up and deliver my
Mazda to me over the past year for service.
Through that great service, Harold and I would
talk much about Dobyns-Bennett sports as I had two
sons that played football and baseball. Harold
knew a lot about all the DB sports, coaches and
just shared a great love for life! He will be
missed!
Harold was a great neighbor for many years. He
and I played ball often. I was shocked to hear of
his passing and pray for his family and friends in
their lost.
I will truly miss you H. RIP. Roll Tribe!!
I'll miss my buddy the last time I talked to him
He wanted me to take him to Clarence's Drive In
when I got back home . Oh how I wish I could be
taking him there ,he was a great friend .
You will be miss by so many people I will miss our talks about racing.
I will sure miss you on Friday nights at Kingsport Speedway. Enjoyed sitting with you for the last few years.
Your family is in my prayers.

A loss for everyone that knew him. I worked with Harold at
Gatton, and he always was helpful to everyone. I would run in
to him from time to time after I left there, and it was always
good to talk Steelers football or Yankee baseball with him. My
condolences to his family.

You will be deeply missed Harold.❤️❤️
Harold was a neighbor I grew up with and a
racing buddy! He always saved me a seat
at Kingsport Speedway where we enjoyed
many Friday nights with our other racing
buddies. You've left us too soon my
friend, but we all know that Harold will
now get to watch racing and his darn
Yankees every night! Miss you buddy!!!
