It was an Honor to have had the pleasure to have known Harold. Harold was a National Treasure , a Man with an almost photographic memory for the life and times of Railroading and the New York Central in particular thru the end of its Golden era and a founding Member of the FLLS , Harold was generous with his time and talent he refused no one. Harold will also be remembered for funding the saving and preserving of the last New York Central Hudson tender in existence at the Steamtown National Historic Site. Harold , may God rest you and keep you and make his face to shine upon you. You will be missed! Sincerely , Bill Young
