Harry was born May 21, 1921, in the town of Silver, Manitoba. He moved to Winnipeg in the early 1940s where he met and married Rose Malinowski in 1944. Dad was employed at C.P.R. until his retirement in 1981. At this point, he became an avid gardener. He enjoyed going to weddings, parties and dances. When he would go to a wedding, his favourite sayings were, is this all there is to eat? and pour me two fingers of rum.

We would like to thank the nurses at the Holy Family Residents on the 5th floor who took very good care of him in his latter years. Also a big thank-you to Emily and Corney Reimer who visited him and involved him in the social activities at the Holy Family Residents.
