My heart is filled with sadness over the loss of a wonderful man. Uncle Harold will always be remembered as the loving, caring, funny man I came to know. I am blessed to have been a part of his family. I will miss that beautiful smile that is a trait of the Martin men.

Sorry for your loss, don't know quite what to say. I remember when I started working in the oil fields with Harold, he was a father figure for me.
