He moved to Calgary in the 60's working as a machinist, then to Edmonton starting an interior decorating business. Harold and Willa met in Edmonton at Blondies Restaurant and they've been together ever since.

Harold was a kind and thoughtful man who loved golf, football and having a laugh with friends. He was a member of various Legions in both Alberta and Nova Scotia.

Diagnosed at 56 with dementia, he moved to NS to enjoy the oceanside, hoping to winter in Florida with his lifetime best friend Bob Hanni.
