Harold Williams

It is with great sadness that the family of Harold Williams announces his peaceful passing at his Bethammi residence on April 24th, 2018.

Harold was born on January 1st, 1926, the only child of the late William and Margaret Williams. At a young age Harold began his career at Canadian National Railways, working as a bicycle messenger, car checker, brakeman, and conductor, retiring in 1981 with 38 years service. 

Harold was a proud Veteran of WWII, serving in the Royal Canadian Navy. He was a 74-year member of Port Arthur Branch 5 Royal Canadian Legion.

Harold was a humble generous gentleman with a quick wit. In earlier years he enjoyed hockey and baseball with lifelong friends Bob Graham and Pentti Lund, cheering on the Thunder Bay Flyers and the Cleveland Indians.

Harold is survived by cousins Iris Rey (Georges), Brandon, Manitoba; Gail Davey (Don), Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba; Bobbi Fitzgerald (Mike), Cecil Lake, BC; and in Thunder Bay Cheryl Dixon, Ed Sutton (Fay), Susan Biloski (Ed). Many other Williams and Sutton cousins also survive.

Thank you to the professional teams at Paramed, the Regional Hospital, the SJCG Transitional Unit, and Bethammi for your compassionate care and friendship over the past years. 

A visitation to celebrate Harold's life will take place at Harbourview Funeral Centre on Monday, April 30th, 2018. Family will receive friends from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. with a memorial reception to follow.
