To the Mabson Family, Please accept our deepest sympathy on Harry's passing. I often recall our time during the '70's and the time shared with "Mr Mabson" (and the entire family), either talking in the garage during the evenings as part of the dog walking ritual, reviewing the latest project (automotive or musically related) or visiting your cottage. Although our work has taken us in different directions, the fond memories of that time remain. You are in our thoughts and prayers, Dave Knutson

Mabson Family: I was in Mr. Mabson's grade 11 physics class at Victoria Park the very first year he taught at Victoria Park. I believe it may have been in 1962. I was a trouble maker and very immature and never, ever did my homework and I ended up failing grade 11 that year. I actually came to the Mabson home on Ontonabee?? off Yonge Street near Steeles Avenue after exams that year, 1963, before the report cards were mailed out, and it was Mr. Mabson who told me that I had failed that year. I remember Mr. Mabson's children being in the room when he told me I failed. When I repeated grade 11, I was once again in Mr. Mabson's physics class. I believe I had one of the highest marks in the class that year. I ended up spending six years in high school and only completed grade 12 at the end of those six years. At 21, I attended university as a mature student at Simon Fraser University. I ended up on an academic scholarship and stood at the top of my graduating class. I went to law school at Osgoode Hall and have now practiced law for 36 years. I now have an insatiable interest in physics,in particular quantum mechanics. That insatiable interest germinated in Mr. Mabson's physics class in my second year of grade 11 physics at Victoria Park. I attended the Victoria Park C.I. 50 year re-union in October, 2010. The teacher I really wanted to make contact with the most was Mr. Mabson. I wanted to tell him that I ultimately achieved some measure of academic success. Mr. Mabson was such a good man and such a great teacher. I am really sorry that I never got a chance to tell him that. Jim Fleming It is somewhat ironic that my mother lived at Carefree Lodge for 19 years. I visited her every week over those 19 years. She died on November 11, 2010.

To Harry’s family, please accept our sincere condolences. We are so sorry for your loss. I'm sure Harry will always live in your loving memories of him.

Dear Doris and Pat, We are sorry for your loss. We remember him walking with you hand in hand from the top of the ravine down to the tennis courts often. At other times he would be in his driveway looking at a car with its hood raised trying to solve a problem in the motor. Now Harry is at peace.

Dear Gerald, Beverley, Pat and families I am truly saddened by your loss, unfortunately or contact was not as I wish it could have been, but I truly did enjoy the conversations we had and he was such a kind and generous man to help me as he did. I am very thankful I had a chance to meet him when I did.
