Harry Norman Mortimer
It is with great sadness the family of Harry announces the passing of their dear husband, father and grandfather, October 22, 2018 at St. Boniface Hospital.
He is survived by his wife, Cecilia; children, Todd (Susan), Kim, Greg (Debbie); grandchildren, Logan, Jackson, Duncan, Alicia, Brock, Luke and Dean; two sisters and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents and one sister.
Harry was employed with Manitoba Telephone System for 32 years in many positions. He kept himself involved with the company volunteering as a researcher, collector and classifier of telephone artifacts of historical value to Manitoba Telephone System. His love of telephones made him a private collector and repairer or adaptor of phones for others. Harry’s interest was historical; with volunteering at the Dugald Costume Museum when in Dugald, MB.; then with RM of Springfield Archives. Restoring older vehicles was another passion of his which he shared with like-minded people of the Manitoba Classic and Antique Auto Club. Harry was also very involved in his church, Prince of Peace Lutheran.
His love of wood showed in many projects from model vehicles to carvings to wooden pens. He was never one to slow down much except for one month each winter to go South with the snowbirds.
A Memorial Service will be held at Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd., on Friday, November 2, 2018 at 2:00pm.
Those who so desire may make memorial donations to Cancercare Manitoba Foundation or the Liver Foundation of Canada.
