To the Watters family: Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. By all accounts Harold lived a very full life. Denver was very glad he had the opportunity to have a good long visit with Harold at Thanksgiving when we were down to Airdrie, and commented that Harold's mind was as sharp as ever. Harold and Bernice were the best neighbours the DeWitts ever had. They could always be counted on to lend a helping hand when necessary.

My deepest sympathies to you on the loss of your Dad and grandfather. Every time I had the opportunity to see and speak to Harold, he always brighten my day. I enjoyed working with him through the Ag Society and the Airdrie Rodeo. I will miss seeing him around.

My sincere condolences to the Watters family. I got to know Harold through the AG Society. Harold's honesty and candor were always appreciated as we dealt with a broad range of issues. He certainly lived a very active life and for that he is a model to all of us around him. Howard Der Stepanian
