HAROLD L. KESTER born October 12, 1932 in Shinnston, West Virginia passed away on September 10, 2015 at age 82.

Harold has been a resident of Euclid since 1969, previously of Cleveland. He has been a member of Christian Assembly for over 40 years and served there as deacon and trustee. Harold worked and retired from the GM Fisher Body plant in Euclid. Harold loved southern gospel music. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and sharing stories about his life. He loved to watch the Indians and Browns games. But most of all, Harold’s biggest love was his wife, family, and friends.

Harold will be remembered most for his deep faith in God. He was a hardworking and gracious person who never met a stranger, as to him, everyone was a friend. He loved to tell humorous anecdotal stories about his life and when he did, he would chuckle and say, “You might want to write this down.”
