WEST SEATTLE SCENE: Farewell party for Admiral Chevron’s legendary Harold Chacon

(WSB photo by Anne Higuera)

You’ve still got time – until noon – to get to Admiral Chevron (northwest corner of Admiral and California) to say farewell to Harold Chacon, the jovial employee who is retiring after more than a quarter-century at the station, moving back to Puerto Rico to be with his mom. Today is Harold’s last day at the station, and he’ll head to Puerto Rico in about a month.

People have been streaming in to wish him well, and a small crowd was waiting for the cake, brought in by the station owner, who gave Harold a big hug. (See this recent WSB story for more about Harold.)

    It’s so very sad for you not to be here anymore. You have such a fabulous laugh and personality Harold….you have brightened up uncountable days in people’s lives.  To say we will miss you is an understatement. There will be a vital peace missing in our community.  Thank you for the love and heart and soul that you have brought into our lives.  ❤️

    I’m a delivery driver and West Seattle is my route. I came in on Friday morning to say goodbye to Harold. I had so many good times with him just coming in chewing the fat and getting a good laugh. I’m gonna miss him sincerely Tommy from the national barricade company.😎

    The heart of an angel! Will greatly miss our talks and your smile. There are kind souls that secretly keep this crazy world together. We don’t know who they are, and even they don’t know who they are. But I feel like you are one of those souls. Be safe and be well.
