Parcourez la nécrologie de Harold Arthur McCarthy Monday March 31st 2025 résidant dans la province Ontario pour le détail des funérailles
As Harold loved to tell the story, he was born in July 1932 at Toronto General Hospital, but born again in October 1946 at Pape Avenue Gospel Hall. He remembers the words spoken by Jesus from John 5:24 as the words that impacted his life. In his early years Harold loved Ancient History, Greek and Latin, and English literature. In his later years he loved Old Testament Hebrew, theology and Creation Science.
As an enthusiastic teacher, his career included more than four decades teaching high school English and quoting Shakespeare, as well as two decades teaching theology and church history. He earned his doctorate of Theology, and was made Dean of Humanities at Canada Christian College. As a passionate preacher, his love of teaching the Bible and quoting the King James Version continued right up until the last year of his life. His teaching assignments even took him overseas to places like Ghana, Russia, and South Korea.
He married Cecile in 1958 and they raised their three daughters Patti, Denise, and Katherine in Aurora. Around that time, he was asked to help teach Sunday School in Riverdrive Park, which he continued doing for 24 years. He was involved in the beginnings of Newmarket Gospel Hall during the 1960’s and then later involved at Gwillimbury Bible Fellowship during the 1980’s. Eventually Harold was instrumental in establishing Riverdrive Park Bible Chapel, which was his beloved community for many years.
In 2002 Harold married Joan and they enjoyed fifteen years living in Bradford, before moving to Bethany Manor in Unionville. Harold was always active in sharing the gospel, giving out the “Ticket to Heaven” everywhere he went. He loved to laugh and tell punny jokes to friends and strangers alike. He always showed genuine love and interest in people, and loved to tell people the meaning of their name. He was especially fond of his three daughters, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. We know that Harold is with the Lord, waiting for those who have received the Gospel to join him in eternal life one day.
John 5:24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
