Harold Wayne Bone, age 66, Chicago, Illinois, a highly decorated, retired Chicago police officer, passed away on March 17, 2021 at home with his loving wife, Audrey, by his side. Harold is survived by Audrey, his son, Brian, his daughter in law, Victoria, two grandchildren, Jacob and Blake, his brother, Robert, of Effingham, IL, his half sister, Andrea Chen, of Ann Arbor, Ml, and so many extended family and friends who will remember Harold as the man who shielded and protected them, stood up for them, helped them, embraced them as family, and never stopped loving and believing in them. Harold's life was defined by his desire to make his home town of Chicago a safer and better place. He became a police officer in March of 1982 and retired 31 years later. Over the span of his career, Harold received 214 awards including 7 Department Commendations, 2 Life Saving Awards, 2 Superintendent Awards of Valor, and 2 Unit Meritorious Performance Awards. According to his former police partners, Harold was a very quick thinker who had a keen instinct for trouble and was never one to wait for the call. He always knew when a situation was developing and he was right there to de-escalate it or handle any trouble that arose. Harold met Audrey on the job. Audrey was assigned to the equine unit and introduced Harold to the joys of owning animals, many, many, animals. Brian, their son, was Harold's pride and joy. One of the proudest moments of Harold's life was when Brian became a Chicago police officer. After catching bad guys, Harold loved music, could name all of the one hit wonders and the oldies. He was also a mean 3 card player and held court at the table in Rivers Casino. When Harold retired, he left behind a legacy at the Chicago Police
Department where his name is spoken with awe over his many career accomplishments. Harold leaves behind another legacy with his passing. He was a man who lived life to the fullest, fought for what he believed in and did not go gently into that good night. He would want us to celebrate a life well lived. Because of the pandemic, the family is going to hold a memorial celebration when crowd size restrictions are lifted. In lieu of flowers, Harold and Audrey request donations to either the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation or The Shriner's Children's Hospital.
