With sadness, but gratitude for his long life, Harold's family announces his peaceful passing, surrounded by love, on Monday January 30, 2023 at the age of 96 years.

Harold has been reunited with his beloved wife, Irene, who predeceased him in 2017. Loving father of Crystal O'Brien (Scott Bell), late Debbie McKellar (Tom), late Danny Whitelaw, late Ron Whitelaw (Peggy), and Linda Barwell. Proud grandfather of 8, great-grandfather of 13 and great-great grandfather of 1. Harold is fondly remembered by his sister, Helen Lidstone. Prior to his retirement, Harold worked for many years for Cambridge & North Dumfries Hydro. Harold and Irene were part of the congregation at Temple Baptist Church.

After retirement, together they enjoyed gardening and travel. Harold was a hardworking and very involved grandfather - his family meant everything to him. In his later years, he found great enjoyment in crafting, and was a skilled painter.

Friends will be received at the T. Little Funeral Home, 223 Main St., Cambridge, on Monday, February 6 from 12noon until 2pm, with a service celebrating Harold's life to follow at 2 o'clock. For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to the Cambridge Humane Society, or to a charity of one's choice.
