Harold will be missed greatly. He was a great person with a big heart. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work many years for Grandview, it was an honor and priviledge. Harold was always there for me, as a boss & friend. You are in the heaven now with so many other of our Grandview buddies. God Bless.

Harold Hass loved his family, and once told me you will never work a day in your life if you love what you do, he loved trucking and all his employees who he thought of as friends! It was an great honor to work for such a fine company that he cared so much about with all the nice people who worked for him also that I was fortunate to meet and know through his great kindness and friendship and truly a pleasure that I will always remember! My deepest condolences go out to my friend Hans, family and friends. God Bless
