Boys I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. The years had passed since I had seen him but the memories I have of him are warm ones. He was at one time our Insurance agent in and around Conestee. Honest and reliable and those are qualities that are hard to find anymore. I remember him sitting and chatting with my dad Foster Fowler he was a good friend to all of us Fowlers. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time .
To all of the Trout family, I did not know Mr. Trout, but I worked in law enforcement for several years, and was friends with Tony, when he was an officer in Mauldin. We also worked at the same time in the Security industry at the same time. I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I know the trying time that you are going through, as I have also lost parents. May God continue to be with you, during this Christmas season. May the spirit of Christ be with you and comfort you. Your friend in Christ.

Dear Neighbors/Brothers – Very sorry to hear about Harold. Got a lot of fond memories of him through the years. A lot of years! He was definitely one of a kind, none other like him. One of the “Dads” of the neighborhood growing up for sure. I can still remember him building both the stores on the corner. Also a couple of very fun road trips with him too. Fun times at the Cabin, and many more memories. He’s finally at peace now. Hope you all are doing Ok, if you need anything, I’m right next door brother. Love Ya’ll!!
