Amherst - In Spring a bud becomes a leaf. Through
nurturing it flourishes and matures. In it's season, dies
and drops to disappear forever. That is the natural
progression of the evolution of the beginning and ending .
The beginning for Harold was at Westcock NB on May 3, 1925.
The ending for Harold was on Saturday July, 25, 2015 at the Cumberland
Regional Health Care Centre, in Amherst, NS.
Harold had worked as an accountant at Fawcett Foundry, Sackville
for most of his career. He was a well respected member of
the Sackville Town Council for many years.
He was a life member of the Royal Canadian Legion,
Branch #26, Sackville and a member of the Amherst 50+ Club, where he
enjoyed, bowling, darts and cards. He was
particularly fond of a good game of crib.
