Jackie I have just learned of Harold's passing and may I offer my sincere condolences to you and the family. I will always remember our trips down Lake Wabamun, boats lashed together, with a massive party going on! Harold was a true gentleman, sailor, raconteur and with you convivial hosts. I am grateful to him for sharing his life with us. - Posted by: Clark William Dalton (Fellow sailor, ex-Winnipeger) on: Jul 03, 2013

Harold was a genuine individual. I learned how to be a true salesman and professional working for Harold as his employee. The best General Manager I ever worked for, seriousness combined with fun made it a pleasure to work with him. Will be missed and always respected. - Posted by: Loren Fox (Ex Employee) on: Jun 10, 2013
