With extreme sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Harold Trenholm, age 72, of Cape Spear, as the result of a motor vehicle accident on Thursday, April 28, 2016.  Born December 22, 1943 in Cape Spear, he was a son of Catherine (Hutchison) and the late Driscoll Trenholm. 

Harold was a lifelong and accomplished fisherman; sea water was his blood. He had been a very active boat builder when fishing boats were wooden.  He enjoyed bluegrass and gospel music.  Harold was a strong and driven man, not even cancer could slow him down, having recently completed seven weeks of treatment. He looked forward to spending time with his family.  

Harold is survived and deeply missed by his wife, Oressa Sterling, and her children Sandy Fletcher, Crapaud, PE, Brenda (Gerry) Landry, Aulac, Wanda (Steven Smith), Dorchester, Fred, Sackville, and Kirk (Mary), Riverview; grandchildren, Sarah, Nathan, Amanda, Matthew, Chase, Tyler, and Megan, and great grandchildren, Dylan, Riley, Rowan, Ryder, Aiden, Hudson, Landon, Paisley, Liam, Aria, and Jakob.  Harold is also survived by his mother, Catherine; brothers, Robert, Halifax, Lyman (Christine), Carl (Muriel), all of Cape Spear, and sisters, Mona (Erwin) Wood, Truro, Darlene (Peter) Pierce, Quispamsis, Isabel (Arthur) Simpson, Hampton, NB, Margaret Anne (Danny) Edmunds, Bonnie Arsenault and Elaine Gray, all of Moncton, and Betty Primmer, Wainwright, BC, as well as several close nieces and nephews.  

Besides his father, he was predeceased by a brother, Larry, and a sister, Norma. 

Arrangements are under the care and guidance of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge Street, Sackville (506-364-1300) from where a time of visitation will be held 2-4 and 6-8 pm on Sunday, May 1, 2016.  A funeral service will be held at the funeral home on Monday, May 2 at 2 pm with interment to follow in the Westcock Cemetery.

Donations in memory of Harold may be made to the Tree Of Hope Foundation, Extra Mural Services, Sackville, or a charity of one's choice.
