The only surgery/illness Harry ever had in is entire lifespan was for a broken hip when he was well into his 90's. During his retirement years, Harry moved to Gravenhurst turning into quite the artist, painting pictures in oil and water. Always the inventor he could make something out of anything and everything. One of his paintings can be seen at the Bracebridge Fairgrounds. Harry was a volunteer at the Muskoka Boat and Heritage Centre in Gravenhurst where he could be seen refinishing row boats. Muskoka will sure miss Harry, with his love of water and nature at its best. Resomation has taken place. A private family gathering will take place at a later date.
