Rest in peace dear friend it was an honour knowing you for over 40 years as a friend ,best man at my wedding and co- worker you will be sadly missed and never be forgotten
I had the pleasure and honour of working with Harry for close to 30 years by the time I retired from the City of Brampton. He was a true gentleman and professional. He was truly honourable and fair in all of our dealings. I have fond memories of slogging through deep snow in -30 temperatures when Harry would drag me out to the Mattamy Deerfield subdivision to check on brick piers and noise barrier fences under construction. He worked tirelessly for his clients. I recall his joy when Petra joined his family. My deepest condolences to Karen and Petra.
Dear Karen,
My deepest sympathies to you and all the family.
I wish you all the courage for the days ahead. You are deeply loved.
Dear Karen, I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Please accept my condolences at this very difficult time. My heart goes out to you and your family. May Harry Rest In Peace.
Take good care!
Dearest husband and father, it was too soon for us to lose you, and our hearts are broken. There is a huge void in our house and our lives now that we must fill with good memories of our lives together, remembering the strong bond of love that held us together. We wanted more time with you but it wasn’t meant to be. We pray that you are in a pain free and glorious place where you will rest in peace and your spirit will guide us into the future. You will always be with us. With much love, Karen and Petra.
Dear Karen,
Please accept my deepest condolences. May you and your family find strength, peace and comfort knowing that your loved one rest in peace.

With deepest sympathy.
