Harold Westerberg
1949-2017
It is with great sadness that the family announces
the passing of Harold Westerberg, which occurred suddenly at his home
on Riverside Drive in Bathurst on Saturday November 11, 2017, at aged
68.
Born in Bathurst, Harold was the youngest son of the
late Lorne and Marion (Wilneff) Westerberg. He is survived
by his brother Eric (late Carmelita Peters), sister Lillian, dear
cousin Gloria (Kenny) Knowles and their respective
families.
Known as “Harley” to friends and
family, he lived most of his life in Bathurst, with occasional
sojourns to Ontario and Alberta as employment demanded.
Harley preferred to work on his own terms and did so all his life,
primarily working for mining, forestry and line-cutting
contractors. In recent years, he enjoyed more solitary work
as a custodian.
Harley highly valued the sense of freedom and
perspective inherent in spending time outdoors, be it cutting and
stacking wood, shoveling snow, mowing a lawn or simply going for a
long walk. An avid hunter, trapper and fisherman, he spent
as much time as he possibly could enjoying nature, regardless of the
season, and took special joy in the cool crispness of fall. In his
spare time, he loved to read, garden and very much enjoyed preparing
home-cooked meals.
In his later years, Harley became a devout
Jehovah’s Witness, respecting and benefitting from the Bible
studies and kind fellowship proffered therein. He will be sadly missed
by all who knew and loved
him.
There will be no visitation at the funeral home. The
family would like to extend a thank-you to the fellow ship of the
Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall on St. Anne Street in
Bathurst for including them in the memorial service for Harold held on
Saturday, 18 November 2017. A graveside service will be held at a
future date to be
announced.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the
compassionate care of Elhatton’s Funeral Home
(www.elhatton.com).
