AMHERST, N.S. – In Spring a bud becomes a leaf. Through nurturing it flourishes and matures. In it's season, dies and drops to disappear forever. That is the natural progression of the evolution of the beginning and ending. The beginning for Harold was at Westcock NB on May 3, 1925. The ending for Harold was on Saturday July, 25, 2015 at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre, in Amherst, NS.
Harold had worked as an accountant at Fawcett Foundry, Sackville for most of his career. He was a well respected member of the Sackville Town Council for many years.
He was a life member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #26, Sackville and a member of the Amherst 50+ Club, where he enjoyed, bowling, darts and cards. He was particularly fond of a good game of crib.
Harold loyally attended his coffee club at McDonalds every day at 10:30 and will be missed by his friends there and throughout Amherst and area.
He will be sadly missed by his wife of fifteen years, Wilhena (nee Boss) of Amherst; a sister, Irene, Sackville; a goddaughter, Joanne Estabrooks, Sackville; special friends, Merrill and Andrea Murray, Amherst; as well as several nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, Harold was predeceased by his first wife Katherine (nee Richardson); two brothers, Robert and Arthur, and a sister, Laura Oulton.
Harold's arrangements have been entrusted into the care and supervision of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge Street, Sackville (506-364-1300). Respecting his wishes, there is to be no visitation or funeral services. A graveside service will be held at the Sackville Cemetery at a date and time to be announced later.
