September 16, 1944 he married Alvena Sachvie of Green Bay and raised their family in Winnipeg. His outgoing personality helped to make the many lasting friendships associated with his 45 year career with J.R. Watkins Co. which he was still active in. Throughout his life he enjoyed the outdoors, gardening and all round handyman. Being a gifted and creative person he shared freely his talents with all. As his health began to fail he was no longer able to do those things which came so naturally to him. Harold and Alvenas home was always open to family and friends. Side by side they shared the joys and sorrows of everyday life. In the later years they enjoyed vacationing with relatives in Hawaii and Florida. Thanks and Blessings to the caring staff of St. Boniface Hospital, Dr. Vajcner and associates.
