Harold Siegrist Obituary

To Harold's family:
The obituary that was published in the Lawrence paper was a testament to the man who led by quiet example. I only knew him as Harold - as he volunteered in patient escort at the hospital. He always had a smile and cheery hello! I'm sure he impacted a large number of people by his attitude and example. I hope your many warm memories of him comfort you. Thank you for sharing him with us at LMH and me, we're better for knowing him.

Kris and John and family, we are so sorry about Brother Siegrist, we will miss his wit when we come home, I always said to Him, "take care of Miss Mary" and he would reply "I'll do my best" now he is "doing his best" taking care of my Rhonda in Heaven, or maybe she is showing him around...so sorry for your loss..but so happy for him Love and prayer's Ruth and Fred..

One of the kindest men I ever knew. I greatly admired my principal at Woodlawn school, from kindergarten through sixth grade at Woodlawn School in North Lawrence. (1959-1966). He was greatly loved my his faculty, students, and the parents. I will never forget the quiver in his lip when he had a school assembly to explain to us that our President had been shot. I had no idea about the family trauma he was experiencing during my time at Woodlawn. That in itself speaks highly of this man who gave all his students a positive example to follow.

Hoping you are all feeling God's comforting arms around you. Love, hugs, and prayers to all of you from Gove. We always enjoyed our visits with Harold and Mary when they came out this way. What a kind and gentle man he was!

To the Siegrist Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Harold's passing. I was a 1965-1971 Woodlawn Elementary Student that was blessed to have him as my Principal. He was a great role model, as well as a very kind and caring man. He will be missed. I send my deepest sympathy and prayers to each of you.

thank you

Uncle Harold was soft spoken, gentle, and kind. When Bob was little, Uncle Harold was so patient with him. Dad thought of Uncle Harold more like a brother than brother-in-law. Our deepest sympathy to the family.

I remember your parents working with our youth at Trinity. Bless their hearts, I was always in a bit of mischief, but they always loved me and showed me the grace of Jesus. I pray in the coming days/weeks/month/years your memories are fond and you rejoice in their new Eternal life.

Loved Mr. Seigrist.
