I has no idea he had passed   Harold was such an amazing teacher and I have always had fond memories of him - like days he would bring Ruth to class and she would sit next to me and color.  I asked him to walk me down the aisle  and he agreed - so blessed.  My condolences to Ruth and the family. 

I was not aware of Harold’s passing. He was an amazing man and a great friend 

Harold was a friend from law school days in Ann Arbor over forty years ago.  When by circumstance I ended up heading out to teach at U of Oregon, he broke me of my Eastern pronunciation "Are-uh-gone" noting that if I said that in front of my students, that would be the end of me.  Forty three years later, I am still in "Or-a-gun" which will not be the same without Harold.  He cared deeply for his friends, for history, and for the world.  He lived modestly and frequently did not get the breaks he deserved.  But he was a good and decent man adn the world was better for him having been here.

Harold was an amazing teacher! He blessed many lives and legal minds.

In 2021 I moved onto a sail boat with Paul Yates, Harold's step son.  After about a year of living on the boat and without ever meeting me in person, Harold called us so he could officially talk to me for the first time and "meet".  He told me about tricking Paul and Alice into eating Hawaiian pizza for the first time, and how much Paul ended up loving it.  Harold cared about the happiness of the people in his life, and he wanted to make sure that Paul was happy, loved, and taken care of.  After promising that I was doing my best at all three of these, he seemed content just to know that. He was a man who cared deeply.  May his memory be a blessing to his friends and family.

Harold took on a historically difficult task as parent and step parent in the late 1980's and early 90's.  Although there was the regular friction any parent would have with a tween/teen ager I remember Harold getting up early every Saturday morning and taking me to my soccer games without complaint or hesitation.  It was actis like that which proved the joy he took in the service required to shuttle, plan, feed, & educate two and then three children.  I will always remember Harold as smart, caring, and pugnacious step father.  

Harold and I were dorm mates at the University of Oregon, during our undergrad days.We stayed in contact over the years and it was wonderful to have him as a friend for over 50 years.  I live in Colorado and would visit with him when my travels brought me back to Oregon.  We always shared lively conversations during our times together  He was definitely one of the brightest people I have ever known.  We last visited about 2 years ago and I talked with on the phone a couple of months ago.  Sorry to learn of his passing.  May he be blessed with peace and love into eternity.  My blessings also go to his family members.

My condolences to Harold's family. I first met Harold in the 1990s when he was a fellow instructor in a paralegal program.  He left that school and asked me to come teach where he was. I was a law student but accepted his offer to teach with him part time. After I passed the bar, we collaborated on several cases and we kept in touch until his passing. He was incredibly smart, always willing to answer questions, and a good and loyal friend.  I will miss him.
