Max and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Harold from Kelowna Toastmasters Club and truly, truly enjoyed his friendship, the stories he told and his genuine love for life. He always looked so dapper when he attended a meeting I would joke with him that Maxine must have picked out his clothes for that night! Gosh we had many laughs. Rest in Peace my friend. You were truly loved my many Toastmaster friends. Marion Gushue-Geiger

I have had the privilege to have been a neighbor to Harold and Maxine for the last 25 years. Harold was always generous to lend a helping hand and taught me so much about being a horseman not a cowboy, as Harold always said. He was a good friend and always had time to recall a story. I am going to miss you my friend.

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Maxine, Dan and Jay.

Chris and Pauline Robinson, Kelowna.
