Harry was born on December 4th, 1927 in Plunkett Saskatchewan where he completed his schooling. Harry

Harry was a tremendous sports enthusiast. Hockey and golf were his favourite sports, Harry played hockey
as a youth in Plunkett and if what he said was true, he was an “AMAZING” hockey player. Harry passed on
his love of sports to his entire family.

grandchildren.

met many of their lifelong friends. Harry was also very proud of his community involvement with the

and Connor, Geoff (Andrea) and their children Jared (Jaime), Kennedy (Dallin), and Courtney, and daughter
