LEBANON, Maine - The world lost a beautiful soul last Wednesday, September 13, 2017. Harold E. Cole, II, better known as Harley Cole, had been struggling with seizures after a head injury in 2009 and a broken heart ever since his Dad, Harold Cole, passed away in 2013. Always putting his own creative spin on everything he did, he lived life to the fullest! His first love was drawing comics and illustrations. Then he combined that with his gift for creative writing. He actually wrote a book set in the Renaissance Era! He also penned many poems and song lyrics. Harley loved music and tried his hand at many different musical instruments, until he discovered his voice was his best instrument. He was an amazing free-style singer until he damaged his vocal cords, while in the hospital for his head injury. After that he turned his interest to creating art using many different mediums from wood, clay, stone, metal to almost any recycled material! He came up with some great creations! Harley had a smile that was contagious no matter what your mood. But he also supported and encouraged others to be themselves too...as many of his friends have told me over the last few days, how he has positively impacted their lives in so many ways. His immediate family Mom Corinna Cole, sister Jenna Cole, special family friend Ray Lamontagne, who treated him like a son and of course his beloved cat Chico...Know he will be at peace with his Dad and some really great friends that passed before him and no doubt are enjoying his presence. ARRANGEMENTS: In lieu of flowers, we would like to request potted plants, as that is what Harley always gave on special occasions and it would give us an opportunity to have it in remembrance of him beyond that day. Or if you prefer, a monetary donation to the Lebanon Fire Corporation in Harley's name would also be very appreciated, as the Fire-EMS members were there for him at some of the worst times, were so professional and always went above and beyond what was expected of them every time!
