Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

My sincere condolences to all family members. At one stage in my life, I was fortunate and blessed to be introduced to Harold and was considered as part of his family for a period of 10 years. During that period Harold and I built a very close relationship. I have nothing but fond and never forgotten memories of Harold in respects to our conversations, family functions, Redditt cottage and travelled trips. To me Harold was like a father who I have never forgotten and will never forget. To me he was deeply missed in the past and forever missed and remembered in the future. - Posted by: Wally Szymczyna (very close friend) on: Sep 17, 2016

On behalf of the Henry family we extend our Sincere Condolences to your whole family. Arnold & Marion will miss Harold's sense of humour. Arnold enjoyed the many years working with Harold at CN & all the breakfasts they shared after they retired. They also enjoyed many fun times at Redditt. Harold will be truly missed. Sincerely, Barb (Henry) Brown - Posted by: BARB (HENRY) BROWN (FRIEND OF FAMILY) on: Sep 07, 2016
