If you were friends or family, you were part of Harold and Bettys family. We spent many Thanksgivings, Christmas, Fourth of July and family birthday parties together. We spent many summers at Grand Lake where my parents the Huffman’s and the Wiley’s retired.
We all will miss Harold but I know he and my dad will be fishing already. ❤️

Betty and family, I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Wiley's passing. (We never called him Harold. To us, he was always Mr. Wiley.) He was a kind and gentle man. So soft spoken and always with a smile. I never heard a bad word from him about anyone. When we would pass your house you would see him building something or tending his garden. I know you, Janet and Steve along with friends will miss him. I also know that he and Sherman are in Heaven telling stories about old times. One right after another. I offer you my condolences and may God bless you. Charlene Gray
Today the world lost an amazing MAN. My grandma lost her husband of 72 years, my mom lost her hero, and I lost my fishing buddy. I don’t like to think of it as a loss, but instead a gain, 94 years of gain. Everyone who ever met him gained wisdom, gained loved, and gained a friend. My grandmother gained a lifetime of love and friendship, my mom gained the gift of having a the best father anyone could ask for. I gained a grandpa that I got to share a birthday with who didn’t hesitate to put me to work and then take me fishing as payment. Most of all heaven gained a wise hardworking man, a man that can love unconditionally, a man who can fix anything, and a man that can catch a fish without bait. I hope everyone up there is ready because you’re fixin to do some work and learn some stuff today. We love you grandpa. Thank you for making this world a better place and passing along the wisdom of a lifetime.
Having served as a hospice chaplain and social worker for nearly 10 years, Harold had the best sense of humor and was one of the most delightful Veterans to have the great honor of serving. A wonderful hard-working family man, his primary enjoyment came from spending time with his wife and family. He leaves behind a great legacy of his precious wife, their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Through his final days, his greatest concern was the continued well-being of his wife and other family members. He had a strong faith that we often shared and from this, we know that he is in heaven with our Lord and Savior, having a grand reunion with his family and friends who have preceded him. His family is in our continued thoughts and prayers.
Warmly,
Tim Hunt,
LMSW/Encompass Hospice Social Worker
