HAROLD LYNDEN HALLSON 1943 - 2017 On June 14, 2017 our beloved husband, dad, afi, son, brother and friend was suddenly taken from us. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife and soulmate of 53 years, Gayle, and his pride and joy, sons, Rod (Jen) and Al ( Rachel), and daughter Krista (Colin) and his eight precious granddaughters, Megan, Chelsea, Emma, Brooklyn, Cassie, Brianna, Sidney, and Maggie. Also surviving is his mom, Leola, sisters, Carole (George) and Lore (Terry), brothers, Ken and Gerry (Gloria), sisters-in-law, Linda and Marie and brother-in-law Bruce (Georgina). He was predeceased by his dad Harold, youngest brother Vern, brother-in-law Gerry and in-laws, Wilfred Anderson and Isabel and George Shepard. He will be dearly missed by his many nephews, nieces, great-nephews, great-nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Lyn, as he was affectionately known, was born May 30, 1943 in Glenboro, MB, the oldest of six children. He grew up in Glenboro and moved to Winnipeg in 1962. He graduated from the University of Winnipeg in 1964 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He had several careers and business adventures but his greatest achievement in life was his family. He was so much more than a dad. Lyn was always giving of his time and skills to anyone in need and most family and friends have something in their house that he helped build. He was always up for an adventure with the love of his life, Gayle and his favourite times were spent watching his granddaughters participate in their many sports and big family gatherings. We are grateful for all the wonderful memories that we have. Lyn, we're not quite sure what we will do without you. You are always in our hearts. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue.
