It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Harley Roland Welsh. Harley was predeceased by his wife Anne of 64 years, his Father Jerome Welsh, Mother Laura Hogarth, Sisters Muriel Appleby and Colleen Myers, and Brothers Gerald, Cecil, Everett, Melvin and Robert Welsh. He is survived by his Sons Douglas and Wayne, granddaughter Ilana, and daughter-in-law Dea Silbertrust.
Harley had a lifelong history of service to his country and community. Harley served in the Canadian Armed Forces (Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry) and he fought overseas in the Korean War. After the war, he was active in the Korean Veterans Association and the Saskatoon Legion, contributing countless hours of service to both organizations. He was a member of the Saskatoon Optimist Club and the Elks Club, and he was a troop leader for Scouts Canada and Venturers of Canada. His hobbies included model railroading, golfing, sailing, and curling. Harley loved music, and he played both the guitar and banjo. He is fondly remembered for his keen sense of humor, his kindness and service to others, his incredible memory, and his enviable knowledge of world affairs and history.
A Service of Remembrance will be held at 2 P.M. on Wednesday November 5, 2025, at Sherbrooke Community Centre Chapel, 401 Acadia Drive, Saskatoon. Those unable to attend are asked to join us https://www.youtube.com/live/w7NKCGvWt-w. Arrangements in care of Kyle Werminsky.
