Very sad sad to hear about Harry’s passing. He was my boss at Canadian Tire Gas Bar when I was a teenager and I always think of him fondly. He was like a father figure to all of his young employees.
My deepest sympathy to the Aitken family on the loss of Harry. Thinking of you and hoping your memories of special times will bring you comfort. Joy Pryce
Harry use to come into the school when he needed car repairs and I always enjoyed talking with him and stories we shared. I’m so sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences for the loss of your Father and Grandfather. May your fond memories bring you comfort at this difficult time.
My deepest sympathy to Ted and Bonnie and the whole family. I chatted with Harry on a few occasions at Central Baptist Church and always saw what a great man he was. He passed his values on to son Ted who I hung around with for years. Rest In Peace Harry.
