Harold’s Obituary
SMITH, Harold Leslie – 93, of Atwoods Brook, passed away October 22, 2021, in Roseway Hospital, Shelburne. Born June 5, 1928, in Bear Point he was the son of the late Robert Ashley and Bessie (Nickerson) Smith. Harold was always a hard worker and during his lifetime he worked at a variety of jobs. Those jobs included a mechanic at Tommy Swaine’s garage, driving the oil truck for Carl Smith, and a furnace repairman with Irving Oil Company. When a forklift accident left him unable to work he found many ways to keep himself busy. He could often be found out in his shed repairing bicycles or pumps or making bird houses. His bird houses can be found in the yards of many Shelburne County homes and many of them are in other parts of Canada and USA. Harold was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 148, Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Shag Harbour United Baptist Church. Harold is survived by his sons, Ricky (Pam), Shag Harbour; Timmy, Barrington Group Home; sisters, Isabelle (Kenneth) Devine, Woods Harbour; Norma Ross and Eleanor Atwood, Bay Side Home. Harold was also the proud Papa of Jackie, Jamie, Julia, Megan, Danny, and Loralee; 14 great-grandchildren; one great-great grandson. Besides his parents he was predeceased by his wife, Vera (Sears); son, Fernwood; daughter-in-law, Trudy; brothers, Robert, Delmar, Herman, Aubrey; sister, Estella Wickens; and two infant siblings. There will be a visitation held on Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. at the H. M. Huskilson’s Funeral Home, Barrington. The memorial service will follow at a later date at the Shag Harbour United Baptist Church, with Pastor Phil Williams and Rev Danny Smith officiating. Due to Covid 19 restrictions proof of vaccination will be required to attend the visitation and service. Interment will be in Forest Hill Cemetery, Barrington. Memorial donations may be made to the Ocean View Christian Academy or the Rosalin Nickerson Care Fund.
