My deepest condolences to Harold's family and friends. Harold became one of our family members over coffees and dinners the past few years. He had a natural wittiness and kindness that always brought a smile to the room.
May you rest in peace, Harold, you will be missed.

I didn't know Harold too well - For the longest time I had only seen him from a distance when putting the grandkids on or off the school bus. Then I received a call from his best friend Brian asking questions about a joint replacement I had undergone as Harold was facing the same surgery. I was honoured they trusted me with providing information.  When my son and daughter-in-law moved home, family get togethers were happening like crazy and I got to know Harold a lot better.  He seemed the quiet type and I worried he might be overwhelmed by our loud antics but he smiled, played along and seemed to fit right in - a true member of our family. I was shocked to learn of his passing and saddened I won't get to know Harold a lot better still.  My sincere, heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.

Harold was my kind of person.  I met him through my father who became great friends with Harold over the years.
He had a passion and a love of food that fueled most of our conversations. He was down to earth and wanted nothing but good conversation,  good food and good company. 
He became a permanent fixture at our family dinners for special occasions and his unannounced visits for coffee will be missed by myself and my family. 
Harold my man, I will  miss you dearly. You will be remembered at all those special times..... especially when there's roast beef.

I met Harold at lock 19 while fishing several times. The sky opened up and starting raining. I ask him if he want to go to timmies for a coffee till the rain stopped. We had a lot in common. We went all over the place in the area and fished. We also went on road trips. I found out after a few weeks he was a good cook. He was one of the best friends I ever had. I am going to miss him.
