He was born to Harold and Bulla Case on July 20, 1942 in Long Beach, California. Harold trusted Jesus as his Savior when he was young and he learned early to love God, family and music which would set the course of his life. His Grandma Case taught him to play the piano when he was 8 years old which turned into a lifelong love of his.
It was his love for Christ and music that enabled him to serve for 38 years at Grace Baptist Church in Portland, Maine. During his time there, he served as the Minister of Music and taught Bible and music classes at the Christian school. He taught many to play the piano and others to follow in his steps as a faithful servant of Christ in music ministry. Boston Baptist College recognized the impact of Harold’s ministry by dedicating a permanent lamp on their Walk of Light in his honor. It was for his faithful service to his church and his dedication to the music ministry. Through his choir clinic ministry, he helped start choirs in churches all over New England and Canada. He was known for his gentle kindness, love and encouragement. He purposed to serve God and others. He was used by God to lead many souls to Christ and disciple them in their faith.
Harold’s greatest legacy and treasure was his family. He instilled a love for God and music into his children, grandchildren and Lord willing his great grandchildren. Harold loved his wife Linda and modeled the unity and oneness the Bible speaks of in every way. Harold and Linda moved to Maine because Linda told him how beautiful it was to live in four seasons. He was so grateful and enjoyed every season he got to share with her. He loved the outdoors and appreciated living by the woods, pushing his grandkids on the swing, cutting firewood and snowblowing, watching the birds (especially cardinals) and deer out the sunroom windows in their backyard. Grampie loved to laugh, sing, and spend time eating with family and friends at Camp Harpwill on Pettingill Pond in Windham where they spent time each summer.
