On Monday, September 16, 2013, after a long journey through life, Dad in his 99th year is starting a new adventure. He has gone to join his wife Margery (Youngs) Jackson (2011) of 71 years in the cosmic dance of stardust. Surviving are his children, Jim (Pat), Karen, Larry (Liz) and Terry; his grandchildren, Krista (Glenn) and Ben (Janet), his great-grandchildren, Fischer, Russell and Lindy; as well as many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews. Dad was a 1st class Stationary Engineer and boiler inspector between 1940 and 1984. He was also a Mason from 1939 (6th Degree). He loved his black labs, Lizabeth, Mr. Chips and Shannon and Sam the wonder cat. The family would like to thank all the folks from Sugar Maple Floor at Peoplecare Oakcrossing, London for their kindness and care given to Harold and Margery during their residency there. Friends will be received by the family from 2-4 and 7-9pm on Thursday, September 19, 2013 at the A.

    Hi Pat and Jim,
    Thinking of you as you celebrate your Dad’s life and all that he was – at 98 I know that there will be so much to celebrate but I also know that saying good-bye even then isn’t easy so I’ll be keeping you close in prayer. Safe journey home. Barb Miller

    This morning I learned about your dad’s passing Terry; I’m so sorry. Even if his death wasn’t a surprise, I’m sure it has been a shock. My step-daughter who had worked at People Care has told me that you were most attentive to him-you must have been close. Your family are all in my thoughts and prayers.

    You have my sympathy, Jim and Pat, in the loss of your Dad. No matter how old a parent may be or how old we are, we still miss them very much. You will certainly feel the loss Dad. God bless you. Nova
