Harold (Papa) passed away suddenly but peacefully at his home in Victoria B.C. on January 8, 2009. Born July 9, 1924 in Winnipeg Manitoba, Harold is survived and lovingly remembered by his wife Helen of 60 years, his children Bob (Cheryl), Tom, Barb (Keith), Debbie (Joe), Nancy (Mike), Dorothy (Mike), and grandchildren Brandon, Lauren, Morgan, Kevin, Kristal, Jessica, Brian, Ryan, Jordan and Kyle.
After returning from the war, Harold worked for Kraft Foods, operated a Shell Station and traveled for Robin Hood Multi-Foods until his retirement in 1984.
In recent years, Harold and Helen (Papa and Granny) were devoted members of their church, St. Patrick’s Parish, as well as active participants in many community activities including the Hillside Mall Walkers and the Seniors Bingo Group at Cedar Hill.
Granny and Papa’s children and grandchildren have always been the focus of their lives.
Papa, we will miss you!
