Harold George Barrett (7 Dec 1963 - 31 Jan 2021)

Such a tragic loss of a vibrant life, I hope and pray Hugo will thrive, Dad was so very proud of you, take comfort from those you can rely on, everyone else are unimportant

We only knew Harold a short time and in a professional capacity when he showed us round our house which he was involved with the building of. In that short time he made such a big impression. Nothing was too much trouble - from lying on the floor holding up tiles to help us choose, helping us to pick flooring and sorting any snags. He did all of this with the biggest smile and always made us laugh. Just before Christmas I called about the house and he ended up telling me stories of how he met princess diana, Geri Halliwell asking him out and talking about how excited he was for us to move in and hoped we would have wonderful neighbours like his in barlborough. He told me about how kind they were and looked out for each other. He told me about his son and how proud he was. He was just wonderful and we are so shocked and deeply saddened by his passing. Moving in day didn’t feel right without him here. We hope to plant a tree in his memory on the plot.
Sending our deepest sympathies to his family.
He was the most wonderful man.

It is my prayer that God will comfort you and your whole family during this sad time. May he richly bless you as you mourn, and may the light of His presence be a continual source of consolation.

A giant of a man with a huge personality to match. You will be missed by everyone who’s path you have crossed. my heart goes out to your family who have a huge gap in there life now. God bless you all stay safe.
Rest in peace H.

I last spoke to Harold just after Christmas. I’m still struggling to accept that he’s gone. Hugo, I’m so sorry for what you have been through and are going through. If you need anything I’m only a phone call, a text or an email away. To Errols family I’m so sorry and my heart goes out to all of you. Kim and Stephen x
