Harry will be greatly missed by his pal and granddog Coleton. Harry was born at Birds Hill, MB on January 6, 1926. Harry spent most of his life residing there except for the time serving his country in the Navy in the Second World War. He was a hard working sole and touched many lives in his various endeavours. He owned and operated the store in Birds Hill, which included a liquor commission, restaurant, post office and grocery for many years. Harrys greatest passion was his family. He married Roxelena (Roxie) and together with her children, Robert, Bruce and Diane became a family. In the year 1957, Harry and Roxelena were blessed with a child of their own, Gregory. Harry enjoyed nothing more than spending an evening with his family and friends. In his retirement years he loved a good (or bad) golf game with buddies from the Legion. The family would like to thank the staff at St. Boniface Hospital for their excellent care over the many years. We would like to thank the staff on 5B for their compassionate care of our father and grandfather over the last two weeks. They were outstanding. Harry was deeply loved and will be greatly missed. He was a member of Birds Hill United Church which is family helped to construct. Following Harrys last wishes there will be no memorial service. We would like to invite friends and family to a "Come and Go" gathering to celebrate his life on Sunday, June 27 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. It will be held at the home of his son Gregory, 3571 Rebeck Rd., East St. Paul.
