    Thank you for the feature on Harold. I love them all, but he was the funniest. He and Statlers will live on in my mind and memories.

      I loved Harold as Lester "Roadhog" Moran. He was hilarious. Thank you for watching and for you kind comment.

    Thank you so much for sharing. Coincidentally, your video popped up on the day that I returned from a cruise with Harold and Don's sons Wil and Langdon, who perform as Wilson Fairchild (their middle names). They also had their sons along who sing as Jack and Davis Reid Music. They just started professionally this past year and are in their late teens. Hearing all four of them together was an absolutely beautiful and memorable experience. The Statler Brothers have been and always will be my favorite group. When Harold died it was almost like losing a family member. 💔🎶

    Thanks for the interesting tour of the cemetery AND thank you for your tribute to Harold. The Statler Brothers were and will always be my favorite singing group. Was fortunate to attend their 4th of July celebration in Gypsy Park (Staunton) several times and to attend several concerts in our area of PA. As their song says, "I'll Go To My Grave Loving You".

It's been a long time since I was there, but I'm planning on going back someday. Thank you for the video. Our RV is too big for Saunton streets but will find a park off Interstate and take our car.

    Thanks for posting this. I drove around looking for Harold's gravestone but the graveyard is so large I couldn't find it. It looks like a sarcophagus where his wife will join him. He is so missed, such a unique talent.

      Entering through the Gatehouse arch go straight up the hill under the footbridge are until you can bear to the right. Once you take the right Harold's final resting place is on the right at the corner of the next intersecting road. The GPS Coordinates are: 38.152520, -79.083333. If you are so inclined I just uploaded the video of my visit to the grave of Lew DeWitt over at the Augusta Memorial Park near Waynesboro.
