My Dad has passed

Post by Steve Leonard »

Dad passed from this life to his eternal home this morning about 5 am. He played lap steel and dobro and was my inspiration for taking up the steel guitar. Please pray for our family.

Steve, I am so sorry to hear that Harold has passed away. My sincere condolences.

I met Harold back in the mid 50's while playing WCYB's Farm And Fun Time radio show. He and I became friends and had some good times together. I know Harold was well liked by all those who knew him and would do anything in the world for you.

Steve, my condolences on the loss of your dad. When I talked to you by PM a while back, you said he was not doing well. May your dad rest in peace.
