Harold was born June 25, 1921 in the Orkney District. At the age of 13 he headed off to work for PJ Rock.

They eventually moved to ACB Grenville’s farm in the Sunbeam District. Harold enjoyed raising livestock and spent 50 years in the Purebred Sheep Business and traveled extensively throughout North America. Poppa was a big push behind the Springbank Sheep 4-H Club. Poppa loved his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. As his grandchildren were growing up he made a big hockey rink in the yard every year, it was a highlight for everyone. Poppa has always been known for never being late.
