I first met Harold several decades ago. A gentleman and an astute surveyor. My father, Darryl, always spoke well of Harold, as a person and practitioner. My condolences to his family and friends.

Sincere condolences to Joyce and family.

Rosemary Ingraham, October 24, 2024

Greatest condolences to Joyce and the family. I had the privilege of working with Harold and started my Articling with Harold early in my career and his mentoring stayed with me and directed me throughout my career. I can say often in my career when confronted with a problem, I would ask myself "How would Harold handle this?" Harold was a great mentor.

I have a lot of respect for Harold and other Surveyors from his era. Harold was a great man and a nice person.

Harold was employed at Maltais in Calgary when I got one my first jobs as a chainman. Harold, Colin and Ken were all big influences on my decision to eventually return to school and eventually article as an ALS. Harold always treated me well while I was employed at Maltais.
