I remember the winter of 1952-53 when in Nov uncle Harold arrived at our farm flat broke. As I recall he worked with Hector McInnes and Morris Foster helping out on their farms. Then in April caught a ride to wpg. 17 months later he married aunt Mary. I always loved his laugh. I will miss you. - Posted by: frank clifford (nephew) on: Aug 28, 2013

Nancy and Edith Arason, thank you for your note, it never occurred to me until now that he climbed the stairs because the power was out, because he couldn't do stairs, it was too hard for him, obviously he found the strength. Lori, Yes he did attend Red River CC in the 80's taking an accounting course sorry for the delayed response. On behalf of the Family, I would like to thank everyone for attending his funeral, for sending flowers, gifts, making donations in his name and your kind words here and through the mail. We miss our Daddy and continue to be touched by the stories and the response of Family & Friends. He will be missed, and he will be remembered for his honesty, his integrity, his sense of humor and his heart. Love You Daddy - Posted by: Joseph Ward (Son) on: Aug 27, 2013

I got to know Harold at Seine River Retirement Residence. He was a great guy, kind and thoughtful. One night when the power went out, he climbed the stairs from floor to floor, carrying his portable oxygen tank, to make sure everyone that had oxygen was connected to their portable tank, with no concern for himself - a truly selfless act. My mom and I will miss him. - Posted by: Nancy and Edith Arason () on: Aug 20, 2013

Our deepest sympathies to you Carol and all of your family. Your dad was a very friendly caring man, even though we only new him a short time. We sure enjoyed his presence and friendliness at bowling. We are sure he will be missed but never forgotten.

We got to meet Uncle Harold at the cottage in Baker Lake NB. My mom Edith his sister, welcomed him to the cottage and we had a great visit, while he toured the country in his red truck. He impressed us all for his endurance and stamina at the time and the will to live and explore. Our deepest sympathies. - Posted by: Norah Bourgoin Horne, Luc Horne and 4 sons (Niece) on: Aug 15, 2013

Sincere condolences to Uncle's family, I remember when he came to visit his sister Edith in New Brunswick years ago and when she brought us to visit in Winnipeg many moons ago. - Posted by: Louise Bourgoin Cyr (Niece/ daughter of Edith) on: Aug 15, 2013

We had the pleasure of getting to know Harold on our many visits to see our mother, Edith Phillips, at the Seine River. We watched Harold play and mentor many of the residents in a game of pool or in the multi purpose room. He was always a delight to visit, always upbeat, loved his 15 children....ever so proud of his family and always positive. He was a leader, a coach and best of all a great friend to everyone. God bless! - Posted by: Garth & Abbie Grieder (friend from Seine River) on: Aug 15, 2013
