Harold's nickname was "Sonny."
He was my first cousin but was more like an older brother.

I still miss him and want to create a way to have anyone interested in leaving comments be able to do so or to hear from anyone that knew him in the service.

From a cousin,

Sonny was a poet, and he wrote songs and poems to his wife. We would love to hear from his Marine buddies.
