Tributes
"I can remember as a young ( many years ago) guy working for Ralph and Harold. I always though that their farms look like the ideal farm always clean and friendly. I'm sorry I was not able to attend his service as he always gave him that little smile that you know that things were fine. "
"Harold will be greatly missed. We have such wonderful memories. Harold and Olive were the reason we starting spending the winters in TX. We had such good times together."
"The children of Floyd and Loretta Steuerwald would like to leave their sympathy with the Laux family. We appreciated your family as good neighbors to us for many years and also the friendship between our children from growing up and and school years. We are sorry for your loss as we know it is hard to loose a dear husband and father, but you have a great heritage to be thankful for and a blessing of knowing he is with the Lord! God's blessings upon all of you. "
"Dear Olive, My sympathy to you and yours. May Harold RIP."
"Harold was a real gentleman. Played cards with him each Wednesday at the RL library. Counted points right almost all of the time. He will be missed. Mary Thill"
"What a joy it has been to know your dad. One of my fondest memories was the time we had a couple extra Brewer tickets and were able to have him join us. He got so involved in the game and had great insight on the sport. We knew he was doing something he truly loved. The love he had for the game is nothing compared to the love he had for his family. We are so sorry for your loss and praying the wonderful memories help you at this time."
