Roger Wilhite wrote a sympathy message

“We had some great times in Monticello, IN with Uncle Harold. Boat rides on his Hurricane deck boat. Helping us learn to water ski, tubing, swimming at the sand bar. Fond memories fishing on the Wolf river in Wisconsin, fishing for White Bass. Never forgotten, forever in our hearts. Reunited with friends and family in Paradise. Rest in Heavenly Peace.”
