He met his wife-to-be, Pauline, a schoolteacher, at a local dance in Oshawa.

Together they raised three children.

He pursued hobbies such as travel, golfing, woodworking, and enjoyed singing in a choir.

Harrywas also a devoted practitioner and teacher of Tai Chi, an art form he practiced daily.

An active member of St. Mark's United Church and the Whitby Seniors Centre, he had many close friends that he saw regularly for coffee.

Harry was predeceased by his wife Pauline (1996).

He will be missed dearly by his children, Steven (Feroza), Jane (Mark) and Carol (Kent); his grandchildren, Adam, Sameera, Andrew and Eric; and his faithful feline companion, Buddy.

A memorial service is planned for April 26, 2020, at 11:00 a.m., THORNTON FUNERAL CENTRE.

Donations, in lieu of flowers, may be made to the Alzheimers Society of Canada.
