Harold married Connie Anderson on August 25, 1973, in Barnwell and they made Lethbridge their home for many years. Harold started his career at Ireco Irrigation in 1971 and then worked for Oliver Irrigation before buying the store in Medicine Hat in 1993. After he bought the store, he changed it to C&H Irrigation. Harold recently retired celebrating 50 years working in irrigation! He was a hard worker who liked to play tricks and make up stories for his grandkids. Playing cards with his friends and grandkids while adjusting the rules was one of Harold’s favourite pastimes!
