I am saddened to report this news

[Avalon]

Dear Board,

I read about this on another message board and was asked to pass along the sad news that longtime FAOL member Harold Hattaway has passed away.

I know that many of you knew him far better than I did and I'd like to ask you to please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Avalon

What sad news, but thanks for letting us know Tim. I had talked to Harold on the phone many times & traded a number of emails with him, & Harold was certainly one of the best. Even with his own battle going on, he put others needs first. If you ever talked to Harold, you wouldn't know he was gravely ill for a very long time. He fought a great fight & touched many of us in so doing. All who knew him were strengthened by his faith & character. I will miss him.
My prayers go out to all Harold's loved ones. God Bless them all.
Mike

I am truly sorry to hear this. I think it was obvious to everyone that Harold was a gentleman who gave so freely and generously of himself. I only knew him from the site, but we exchanged emails for awhile. He was a great comfort to me around the time of my parents deaths. People like Harold are a treasure to us all. His legacy is one of having made this place, and I'm sure alot of other places, better for having been involved in it. His friendly manner and sense of humor made him easy to talk to, his sage advice, faith, and humility always made his posts and emails worth reflecting on. I hope one day to share a stretch of water with him, as we fish "around the bend" as we are fond of saying... God Bless You Harold

Harold left his legacy by being himself. Nothing can beat that.

Thank you, Tim. Very sad news indeed but at least he is no longer having to suffer the ravages of that horrible disease. My thoughts and prayers are with the Hattaway family and all of his friends.
