Our deepest condolences in you time of loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
I’m truly sorry to hear of the passing of Harold. I met him at McDonald’s in Mannington where we used to talk and drink coffee together. He’ll be missed by all of us.
Always knew who Mr.Deavers was. first and only encounter with him was he fell near his home. I came by, saw him and asked for Scott’s number Hey gave me the phone talked to Scott. He thanked me. Then a few others stop including a state policeman. Got he loaded up in a bed of truck and the police men held ahold of him entire time until we got to his house. Mr Deavers wasn’t worried about where he had boo boos he was filled with keeping the rest of us laughing our butts off. Wish I could have been around him through the years. I love comedy. But my prayers and thoughts are with the entire family. Memories will keep you all going.

Went to sleep as I was talking. So sorry for your loss.
