Betty, Eric, Adam and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you, Betty, may your tears flow freely with all the wonderful memories that you have shared with Harold over the years. I know with every family there has been Joy, happiness, sickness and sorrow. I feel blessed in knowing that in some small way I was able to give you and Harold comfort in your time of need. God Bless. Love Judy
Betty, Eric, Adam, and family,
Our deepest sympathies go out to you. Harold was someone that gave anyone the time, effort, and support they needed without asking anything in return.
As we drove past some historical markers on old national road today they made me think of him and I told Jennifer and the kids about his scrapbook of those signs.
His presence will be missed, but he will always be with you.
Eric,
My wife and I are so sorry for your loss. There are no words that can ease the pain just know that over time the happy memories you shared will bring smiles and laughter. May God bless and ease your sorrow. You guys are in our prayers.
Rob and Karen Plohr

Sorry for your loss Eric. Your family is in my prayers. He was a good man and I remember back when I would watch you coaching hockey, he would always have something to say that would make me laugh. Rest in Peace Mr. Cunningham.
