In Harold's "own words" two of his Principles of Life include:
Living: We all die. Some sooner, some later in life. God decides for us. The real question is "how we decide to live our life each day."
Death: I am not afraid of death, only the process.
The family of Harold Weber wishes to thank the medical staff at Boswell Banner Hospital, Davita Dialysis at Palmbrook, and Hospice of the Valley in Surprise, AZ who took outstanding care of him during the past few years through many medical complications and challenges.
