Harold had a severe Rt Med. Cerebral Artery Stroke in August 2006. He had to medically retire, which hurt him greatly - he really enjoyed the interaction at work, but the frontal lobe effects of the stroke did not allow for returning to work. He went on with his life, trying to find happiness. In August 2009, Harold had open heart surgery and passed away 5 days later without regaining consciousness from complications post surgery. We miss him.
