He spent his early working years as a crane operator before discovering his true purpose and passion for carpentry. Through hard work and determination, Harold became a very talented finishing carpenter and was able to construct many beautiful pieces that will be treasured for many years to come. When Harold wasn’t busy with work, he enjoyed watching rodeos; was passionate about country & western music and dancing; and he enjoyed fishing when he had the time. Harold will be missed dearly by all those who knew ad loved him. A celebration of Harold’s life will take place later in Swift Current, SK.
