He was an 8 time Canadian Rodeo champion, held the title of Cowboy of the Year, has been inducted into three halls of fame, and founded the Canadian Rodeo News, the official newspaper of the C. P. R. A. Harold was a well respected man who would help anyone, and did. He put everyone’s feelings before his own and never had an unkind word to say about anyone. As Harold faced his own passing, he said to his family, ‘It’s okay to cry because it’s sad, but I haven’t shed a tear and I’m ready to go’. He faced his impending passing with the same valor he showed in his life. There will be celebration of Harold’s life at the main pavilion of the Lethbridge Exhibition Grounds on Saturday, September 27, 2008 at 2:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cowboy’s Benevolent Fund, c/o Northlands, Box 1480, Edmonton, AB, T5J 2N5. The family can be contacted by emailing pedersonv@albertahighspeed.net .
