We cannot even begin to recount the wonderful times and memories we had at Uncle Harold’s and Aunt Madeline’s on the beach. Harold was smart, kind, and had a great sense of humor. He taught me how to grill a steak to perfection: use one hand only and douse the charcoal flames with your Molson. Fun times snowmobiling, waterskiing, and listening to Harold sing On Top of Old Smokey around a bonfire. We’ll miss you, dear Beach Elder.
