Our dear friend Elder Joe Harrod will surely be missed by my wife & I. He was a true warrior of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He loved the word of God & shared it with every one that would let him. He loved people know matter who they were. His loss here is heavens gain, but leaves a big hole in our hearts. So long our dear friend & fellow brother in Christ until we meet again.

I just read about Pastor Joe Harrod’s passing. I got to know him here in Palatka, FL where he ministered. He conducted several funerals through our funeral home. He was always a kind and loving man whom I appreciated knowing. Our sincere condolences go out to Sis. Harrod and all of the family. Quincy Masters
