We only recently learned of the passing of Harold Gillham. Harold, Lucille and Brenda were a part of our lives, growing up in Harrison and attending Eagle Heights Baptist Church. Harold was truly a gentleman who lived an exemplary life. A lot of fond memories. May God's peace be with all who knew and loved Harold.

My father-in- law, a man of utmost truth and integrity who served as an example of how man is supposed to live since we first met 50 years ago. Always honest and fair to everyone he encountered in life's long journey and I will greatly miss him. I have no doubt that he is in the presence of our Creator with Brenda. Lucy and other loved ones who preceeded us beyond the stars.
