Extremely proud Grandpa of Erin, Matthew, Meaghan, Katherine, Virginia, James, Ryan, Lukas, and Ellie. Predeceased by his sisters Eileen Vrielink and Patricia Sopp. Fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews, friends and neighbours. Harry was a true gentleman. He was kind, generous, thoughtful and always interested in others. His optimism and good sense of humour remained to the end.
