In his early career, Harry was a veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy where he served as a parachute technician and also worked for the CNR. He then went on to work at T.R. Mackenzie for 46 years in home building and construction supplies.
Harry was a man who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life; family, friends, a good book, camping, time on the Restigouche River at the family cottage as well as seasonal maritime road trips with his brother and sister-in-law, Earle and Myrtle and his forever love and wife Viola.
He enjoyed carpentry as a profession and hobby, passing that love and talent on to his son Greg.
