It is with broken hearts we announce the sudden passing of a loving husband, father, grandfather and brother, Harold Douglas Pond of Port Hood, Nova Scotia on March 10th, 2023 at the age of 70.
Harold is proceeded by his parents John and Esther; brother, Jackie; parents-in-law, Angus and Mary Florence Beaton; brothers-in-law, Danny Gillis, Terrance Macintyre and Sterling Morrison.

Also mourning Harold are his sisters, Patricia and Norma; his brothers, George (Bev), Clifford and Kent, other members of the Pond and Beaton Families as well as a large circle of relatives and friends.
Harold was a kind man, the true meaning of a gentleman; he was known by many for his infectious smile and quick wit and was often seen cruising town in his prized 52 Chevy, “Molly”. Harold was considered by many to be the unofficial Mayor of Clan Ranald, a man who loved the Red Wings and always made time for a chat during which you were sure to be left laughing.
