HAROLD LONG Peacefully, on Tuesday, February 8, 2005, after a courageous battle with cancer, Harold passed away at the Grace Hospice, at the age of 84 years. Beloved father of Gale MacFarlane and Leslie Nosworthy; father-in-law of Garth Nosworthy; dear grandfather of Darin MacFarlane, Lindsay and Gregory Nosworthy; brother of Bernice Reisenauer; uncle of Bill Reisenauer; and Laurie Sisser. Harold was predeceased by his parents, William and Mary Long; and wife Elizabeth Long. Born in Brandon, MB on February 4, 1921, Harold joined the Royal Canadian Navy, serving aboard the HMCS Haida, in the Second World War. He had a career in the oil industry, firstly with North Star Oil, and subsequently Shell Oil in commercial real estate. Upon his retirement, Harold worked with Canada Permanent Trust as a realtor. Harold was a loving father, a grandfather and great friend who will be sadly missed. He dedicated himself to his work and his principles. Harold loved his family and as a proud grandfather, was always there for school events, music and ballet recitals and those cold hockey arenas. A celebration of Harold's life will be held on Friday, February 11 at 1:30 p.m. in St. Mary's Anglican Church, 3830 Roblin Blvd. Our family wishes to thank the staff at the Grace Hospice for their outstanding care and support.
