Tribute

In the morning hours of March 20, Harold left his tired body behind and went to be with his true love and wife of 60 years Betty, and his pal Sparky. Harold was born in Vancouver and moved to Crown Avenue in Cranberry as a young boy. It was there he met and later married Betty. Together they had a daughter Carlene and a son Russell, who they raised in their home at the head of Finn Bay out in Lund. As a young man Harold became a commercial fisherman and remained so until his retirement in 2000. Harold and Betty worked for years together on their boat, the Night Moon , fishing cod and prawns from their home base in Finn Bay. Harold was dedicated to and loved his family dearly. He was the most awesome husband, father, brother-in-law, uncle, grandpa, and great-grandpa anyone could ever have. Harold was known as a kind and gentle man with a quick sense of humour and infinite patience. Those of whose lives he touched will forever be made brighter for having known him. Harold was predeceased by his wife Betty, and is survived by his daughter Carlene, son Russell, grandchildren Gene and Amy, Brandon, Terrin, Bryce, Darcy, Melanie, Dion and Ebyni, and great-grandchildren Maya, Corbin, Blake and Elliot.
