I am so sad to have learned of the passing of my friend Harold. He loved video production and I built him some great computers that he loved to work with. He always told me to take a break and come visit him on Tim Ford Lake. I never did and now I regret it. RIP my friend. Your warmth was felt by many and I will miss working and chatting with you!

Harold was always there with a grin, a laugh, and a hearty hello. We at NHC were blessed to have worked with him. He helped so many of us with our conference presentations and other videos. He was skilled in Union negotiating. He lived life with passion. He always had an open door and time for you. He was a good golfer. Loved the times on the course with Harold. He would always ask how my son was doing, he was that kind of guy. So sad to say goodbye ole friend.

Spent many months with Harold back in the 90s and I learned much from his knowledge of HR and personnel management. He paved the way for the NHC culture in several areas. I have many fond memories. Prayers to the family. There will never be another Harold Bone! One of a kind!

To the family - My deepest sympathies to you all. I knew Harold when he worked at the State and you guys lived on Edge-o-Lake . Harold and I play lots of golf together as well. Harold was always a prince and a gentlemen. He will be missed.

One of my very favorite people! Harold always encouraged my crazy ideas and taught me how to share our passion for people. The experiences he made possible for me shaped who I became as an administrator. My heart breaks for all who love this precious man. He leaves a legacy of tough love and a tender heart. The Bone family and the NHC family are in my prayers.

Harold will be missed. Always had a smile on his face. My prayers are with Amy and his family.

Doctor Bone, You are missed. You had a positive impact on so many people. Your belief in the everyman touched so very many. Few people reach the pinnacle of their profession as you did. Good will continue where you walked, and I believe and know that you will be remembered. You were a major contributor to the positive culture of NHC. Rev. Keathley

Many heartfelt thanks to "Boneman." We were 6th floor "next door" neighbors and good friends at NHC for the last 15 yrs of my career. He encouraged & supported me. We made memories fishing, golfing (he always beat me) and yes ...working on the many videos for management conferences & training that he produced. He certainly had an eye for that stuff as one of his many skills. My prayers and condolences go out to Amy and the entire family. Harold will be missed but never forgotten.

Amy, Cheryl, Michael and family , we are so sad over the loss of our neighbor. Harold was such a thoughtful and great person in all respects-we will sure miss him. Harold's Dripping Springs neighbors are giving a Memorial in his memory to the local Multi-County Cancer Association.

When Harold passed on to the Lord I lost a very good friend and fellow warrior. Over the years, we fought many battles before the NLRB on behalf of his company and my client, NHC. It will be difficult to imagine continuing those endeavors without him by my side, especially with all of the passion and originality that Harold brought with him on every occasion. He was a true Warrior, the likes of which I have never seen before and most assuredly will not see again. My heartfelt sympathy goes to his fiancée Amy and the rest of the family. Harold will live on in our minds and hearts forever.

Dear Amy & Harold's family, I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Such a handsome photo of Harold. I look forward to 'teeing it up' with the 'Linkster' in heaven someday and will allways keep the signed dollar bill, that I won from him several years ago, in my wallet.

I'm sorry that I cannot be at the service, I'm out of the country.

Harold was such a fine Man. Always cheerful. I was his real estate agent when he purchased 3-4 years ago on Tims Ford Lake. He sure enjoyed the lake.My deepest sympathy to his family and fiancee.

Harold will be missed. He was part of NHC's family and was a valued part of developing the culture that the company celebrates today. I learned a lot from Harold over my 30 years with NHC and will miss him. Doug Ford, Administrator

My heart aches and is so saddened by this sudden loss. Harold would always come by my office when he was at work and "taunt" me and give me a hard time because he knew I'd give it right back to him. In fact, just 2 weeks ago, he came by and said "got that nose up in the air? Is that because you're looking through your bifocals?" He was a very kind man and I loved his humor. I can only say to Amy and his family, I know you are grieving as we are too and just know he will be greatly missed. Prayers for comfort I am praying for each of you.....
