I believe that it was more that they worked together as a team and both came up with ideas.

Gary Morse joined his father in the business in 1983. Harold was still involved as late as 1992 and probably beyond that. So to imply that he retired soon after Gary arrived is questionable.

Harold had an office over Margarita Republic overlooking Spanish Springs Town Square. As far as I know, he went there almost every day and was still involved until his death in 2003. That's the reason that that spot was selected for his statue.
