James and family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Know you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in all the many wonderful memories you have.
No more a watch to stand, Old Sailor
You are outward bound on an ebbing tide.
Eight bells has rung, and last watch done.
Now a new berth waits you on the other side.
Your ship is anchored in God’s Harbor.
And your shipmates, sailors of the Lord.
Are mustered on the deck to greet you.
And pipe you as you come aboard.
Her boilers with full head of steam.
Cargo stowed and galley fully stored.
Just waiting to get underway.
When the last hand comes aboard.
Look sharp, that hand is YOU, Old Sailor.
And you’ll be sailing out on Heavenly Seas.
May the wind be ever at your back.
Fair weather, and God speed!
Love ya always and miss you forever old sailor! The Noland Family
Fair winds and following seas, shipmate. We have the watch.

Rest In Peace my friend🙏🙏🇺🇸
I work for you Home Helpers and on a daily basis Harold good always make me smile. Every day he always said Hello Donna and what’s up? Our daughter Natasha is a sever at the Grand Village and he always liked her and the feeling was mutual. Harold touched myself and a each and everyday with a kind word. When he got to go too Daytona he was excited fir weeks to come before he left. He bought me back a Daytona t shirt which I will treasure always. Some thought Harold was a mean ole man rough around the edges. But he never once showed that side to myself or my daughter. He always had a smile for us a kind word and stories to tell. Harold was most proud of his family and grandkids and spoke of them all often esp his son James. Myself and Natasha will miss him a lot . Our condolences to his family. We loved Harold .
