I Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Deacon Albert E. Harold, Jr., fondly known as “Bubba”, was born on July 3, 1951 in Princess Anne County, Virginia. He was the son of the late Albert E. Harold, Sr. and Ida Watkins Harod.

    To the Family of Deacon Bubba (Albert) Harold Jr

    I’m praying for your comfort/healing during your season of grief. I met Mr.Bubba about a 1 1/2years ago. I found out a lot about Mr. Bubba while he was getting his haircuts he had a love for music, kids, eating and storytelling. Not sure in which order but that doesn’t matter. When Trinell would bring him for his cut he was always a great joy and ready to spit some stories,listen to some good music and talk about his kids. I will miss Mr.Bubba dearly however I am glad I got the opportunity to know this beautiful soul.

    Rest Well Mr Bubba

    Mrs.J

    I hadn’t seen Bubba in a few years, but knew both his father first and then him over several decades as Heavy Highway Contractors, demolition, landscaping, and other work.

    I’ll miss his easy-going manner, wisdom, humor, and most of all friendship.

    Condolences to friends, family, extended family; and as we would joke: in-laws and outlaws.

    May Bubba Rest In Him. Peace ✝️

    Wayne Credle Sr and Family
