We would like to thank the 3rd floor staff of Cambridge Memorial Hospital and much gratitude goes to the 3rd floor staff of Freeport Hospital, who did everything possible to make Harold and his family as comfortable as possible in those last days. Donations to the MS Society or the Cancer Society would be a great way to remember him. "See you, POP"
