Harold was active in the lives of his children and grandchildren by watching sports events, traveling to visit them, and just stopping by for a cup of coffee, a visit and some house repairs. He made the best chicken pot pie ever!

Connelly, Lititz, PA; grandchildren: Jason Hartenstine, Jennifer Hartenstine Felty, Shannon Connelly, Heather Connelly Gale, Tyler Connelly, Nicholas Connelly, Trey Connelly and Halle Connelly; 7 great-grandchildren; a brother, Lloyd Hartenstine and a sister, Marion Lugo.
