Harold Augustus Adams

Born in Halifax, NS on October 28, 1942, he was the son of the late George and Florence Adams.

He was a long time employee of VIA Rail for 35 years, where he worked his way up to Customer Service Representative. This role brought him much enjoyment as he assisted travelers along their journeys. During this time with VIA he made lifelong friendships, and even after retirement enjoyed meeting regularly with VIA Retirees.  

He loved watching sports on television, including the Toronto Blue Jays and Curling. Harold gave his heart to the Lord and was baptized at the New Horizons Baptist Church (formerly Cornwallis Street Baptist Church). He became an active member of the Church, including becoming a Member of the Treasury, singing with the Men’s Brotherhood, and cooking for special occasions, i.e. Mother’s Day and Easter Sunrise Services. He will be greatly missed by all because he made such positive impact on so many people. He was also an active member of the Equity Freemasons Lodge No.106.
