Harold Dean Bitner was my very close cousin in age growing up. I was a few months older. Our Mothers were sisters. One of my earliest memories when I was about three is of Harold and his sister Gloria and brother Junior visiting. I picked up a toy tin sprinkler bucket and hit Harold Dean in the head with it. I don't know why I did this except that I wanted Harold Dean to notice me. Yes his head bled. Many years later he asked me why I did that. Harold Dean would come bye and visit my Daddy who was sick. Harold Dean could be funny and a good talker. He will always have a special place in my heart. May Jesus hold Harold Dean close and sweet Blessing to all his family.Cousin Johnnie Lea (Whittenberg) Tillery Tate
