April 8, 1926 - December 3, 2015
After a brief struggle with cancer, Harold passed away at the Totem Lodge in Sechelt. He was predeceased by his wife Gail in 2013. While they had no children of their own, they were special people to many nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. Harold many stories of his early life growing up in a large family in West Vancouver. He worked his whole life as a meteorological technician, an occupation that resulted in many interesting postings including one in Alert, in the Canadian Arctic.
Harold and Gail spent many years living in Richmond, with Harold working at the Met office at the airport and Gail teaching at the community college. It was during this time that they purchased waterfront property in Pender Harbour and became part of the weekend ferry crowd travelling up the Sunshine Coast. That is, until both retired from their careers and moved there permanently. He was then able to indulge in his passion for sailing and golfing full time.
Harold had a unique ability to recall many life experiences from his past and weave them into comical stories. Harold enjoyed life and enriched the lives of his many friends with his humour and friendship.
His friends and family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Bruce Robinson, Totem Lodge, and the Sechelt Hospital for their support and care during this past year.
