Harry will be fondly remembered by his family for his quick wit and humour. He was a hardworking, dedicated employee of JI Enterprise for many years. When he wasn’t working for JI he worked for EI, unemployment! Harry loved the simple things in life, like driving around in his car, playing tv bingo and scratching his lottery tickets. He enjoyed cutting his grass and loved driving his lawn mower over to his daughter Lisa’s for a cold beer!
Harry will be dearly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him, he is now peacefully reunited with his loved ones.
Our family would like to express a heartfelt appreciation to all staff at Golden Birches and NSHN for their care and compassion during this difficult time. Their guidance, empathy and support will leave a lasting impression - thank you.
