HAROLD PEDERSEN
Harold was a loving husband, father, morfar (grandfather), and will be greatly missed by his daughters, Bodil (Greg) and Annette (Greg); grandchildren, Tyler, Megan (Jay), Brandon (Rowan) and Colin (Taylor); family members in Denmark; and friends who all have fond memories of him. He will now be reunited with the love of his life Lily who passed away in June.
Harold was born in Denmark on February 26, 1925 to Anna and Peder Pedersen. Growing up he worked on the family farm, then trained to be a machinist. He met Lily and soon realized she was the one. They were married April 1955 and two years later decided to move to Canada for a new experience and opportunities. They were welcomed by the Danish community where they made many friends that became extended family.
Harold had a fulfilling career as a Tool and Die maker. He was a hard worker and very skilled at his trade.
Harold's interests included hunting, fishing, golfing, billiards, curling, snowmobiling, bridge, and gardening. He loved the outdoors.
Dad was always so proud of his girls, he was our handyman, protector and hero. He was always there to help us out. Just one call and he came over. He treasured his grandchildren and all the times he spent with them. He enjoyed taking them to St. Vital Park to feed the ducks, fishing, making his Danish pancakes and playing Mario and Yoshi with them. He also built them an amazing train set and a plane Merry go Round.
Dad we are going to miss you so much but
we know you are protecting us from above.
Respecting Harold's wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family gathering will be held at a later date.

My heart-felt sympathy Annette, Bodil and families. I have such fond memories of your Dad and Mother both, from my teenage years when I spend joy-filled holiday meals with your family. Your Dad would share his family traditions with us...like hiding money in the rice pudding and my little brother Wil and I would always get the special coin in our desserts. Your Dad was such a kind, generous man who brought laughter to every visit. I will continue to cherish those special memories of such a lovely couple. Your parents will always have a special place in my heart. My sincere sympathy to you all. Pennie Davies - Posted by: Pennie Davies (family friend) on: Nov 23, 2021
