He was so kind to me as I was stepping into my father's shoes of running the business. Always asked about my adopted son Brendan, he was my sons adopted grandfather a running conversation. Both he and his wife lovely people. May his memory be a blessing.

Grief is an individual journey that everyone travels in their own way. There is no right or wrong way or timeframe. Someone gave me this quote and I wish I had it to share when I was a peer parent grief counselor.
I promise you this, there will come a day when you think of your loved one that a smile comes to your lips before a tear comes to your eye. That day will come I promise you.

My heartfelt condolences to the Karbin family. Harold and his wife were adopted grandparents of my adopted son Brendan. We shared a warmth and connection that were more family than business. When I used to call in I would ask for Mom and Mrs Karbin and I would chat for a few minutes about family. The Karbins were warm, caring and lovely to me always. The bike business was a better place because of the Karbin family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
