Background
"You know, when I went away, you punks was little homies, and I was a big homie."

- Stretch to Franklin and Lamar.

At some point in his life, Harold Joesph joined the Chamberlain Gangsters Families, eventually becoming a veteran, high-ranking member of the gang, achieving the title 'OG' and gaining the nickname "Stretch". It was also hinted he was much older than a regualr member of the gang.

During his time with the Families, Stretch met and became friends with a younger member of the gang by the name of Lamar Davis; he also met Lamar's friend, Franklin Clinton, but the two couldn't get along, with Franklin showing little to no respect for Stretch.

Stretch was later arrested and taken to prison for unknown crimes, serving there several years. He told D he spent his time there with several members of Ballas.

Release from prison
In 2013 Strerch is released from prison and reunites with Lamar. The two head towards Franklin's house to recruit him for a drug deal with Balla member D, who was previously kidnapped by Lamar and Franklin.

Nearby Franklin's house, Franklin ignores Stretch, who asks him to give the senior OG respect. Franklin also throws insults at Stretch, telling him he could've have stayed in prison even longer. Annoyed by Franklin's insults, Stretch tells Lamar to leave Franklin so they could go alone to the deal. When Franklin tries to cool up with Stretch but throws another insult at Stretch, leading Stretch to push Franklin aside and return insults at him, telling Lamar that Franklin "gets on [his] nerves". Lamar calms down both sides and recruits Franklin for the job. The trio stops at Ammu-Nation to buy a flashlight for Fralin's pump shotgun.

At the meeting place with D, Franklin, Stretch and Lamar discover that the meeting is actually a Ballas ambush to kill Franklin and Lamar (with Stretch probably being the one behind it). Stretch executes D, which leads to a massive shootout between the trio and the Ballas. They escape from both the Ballas and the LSPD.

Death

 * Notice: Stretch's death occurs only if the player, as Franklin Clinton, chooses option C, "Deathwish".
