Harold Anthony Nichols Jr., 63, of Ephrata passed away peacefully, on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Alameda, California, he was the beloved son of the late Harold Anthony Sr. and Eleanor Ferrara Nichols. Harold was a jack of all trades, a true renaissance man. Above all else loved his family, especially his grandchildren and grand dogs. He will be lovingly missed by his best friend Clyde, his Bichon Frise Shih Tzu mix. He was an avid Raiders fan who enjoyed camping. His family will be left with the fond memories of camping trips at Raystown Lake over the years. Harold and Clyde were known to take a ride on Harold's scooter around town and always had a smile while doing so. He was an artist who loved to draw and appreciated the outdoors.

Surviving are four children, Michael Anthony husband of April Nichols, Yvonne wife of Rudy Jasso, Sabrina wife of Brad Martin, Alissa wife of Tyler Kester, and grandchildren, Ryder, Caitlyn, Miklo, Lena, Anica, Peter, Parker, Paisleigh, Phillip and Phreya. Preceding him in death were two brothers and a sister. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend Harold's graveside service at Mount Zion Evangelical Cemetery, Akron, on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at 2:30 PM.
