To the Hope family: We are so sorry for your loss. Harry had done work for my Mom and Dad at Rondeau for many years. He was kind enough to keep us kids on as customers. He always did a great job for my parents and for the rest of the Ford crew. I have a fond memory of sharing a couple of whiskeys in his kitchen in 2019 when I stopped by to say goodbye and thank him for many years of service to our family. He was a great guy with wit, humour, and a mischievous smile!. Rest in peace, Harry.

Dear Lou-Ann & Todd and families: I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I can remember all the wonderful years of you both growing up in Guilds, and will cherish all the memories of Harry. I can remember babysitting you both while my Mom & Dad/Elroy & Verna would go to dances in the summer at Port Stanley with the Guilds group of friends. I will always remember how he would make us all laugh with his funny witty personality. Deepest sympathy to you both today. Love to all of your families. He will be greatly missed. Linda Patterson

To the Hope family: We are so very sorry for your loss. He was our plumber at Rondeau for as long as we can remember! He rescued us from plumbing disasters at all times of the day and evening more times than we can count—always with a smile, reassurance and a remarkable repair. He was tremendously kind , a true friend and a gem of a person. He will be missed.

To the Hope family, my sympathies on the passing of your father and grandfather. Harry was a good man. He did a lot of work for my parents Don and Helen Stirling back in the day and had developed quite the friendship. I last saw Harry just before the pandemic at the restaurant in New Scotland. He hadn't changed one bit. Sharp as a tack. He will be missed. Let your memories comfort you through this difficult time. - Art

Warm condolences to the Hope family on the loss of such a wonderful man. I met Harry when I was a young child due to my family's close friendship with his brother Blake, and also because my Grandma had a nursing home in Guilds. Will always remember 'Oil Can', as my younger brother named him, with a smile on his face. Such a good-hearted character with lots of humour, kindness, and stories to tell. Definitely will be truly missed by many! May he now rest in peace.
Sincerely, Val Johnston

Harry kept the water pumps pumping in Rondeau Park for longer than I've been alive. Nobody knew pluming like he did. I had his phone number memorized. On behalf of the Rondeau Cottagers Association and the hundreds of Rondeau families he's taken great care of for 50+ years -- rest in peace. A truly unforgettable character in the best possible way.
