At home on February 6th, Harold passed away peacefully. He was the beloved husband of Pamela, loving stepfather of Christopher (Jennifer Williamson), and a cherished father-figure to Elanna (Dave Silvester). He was a caring Papa to Hayley and Alexander Williamson, and Colten Silvester.

Griffin’s books by heart.

The family would like to extend special thanks to his PSW Peyton and Nurse Gina for their care and kindness, as well as to his longtime NP, Sheri Devereaux, for her exceptional support.
