Harold was predeceased by his wife Janet who passed away in May 2003.
Harold was an accomplished mason and worked in masonry all his life. He was a source of light, comfort, and love to all his family. Harold was a patient and caring listener to anyone who had something to tell. He loved birds and had many different types of bird feeders over the years. He was content to sit outside in the sunshine and enjoy the birds and blue sky. Harold always had a smile on his face. He had a fine collection of clocks which he enjoyed maintaining and loved listening to.
Harold was a warm and kind-hearted man who will forever be in our hearts. A Celebration of Life service will be arranged at a later date.
