Harold DOOTSON Obituary
April 5, 1937 – October 4, 2015
It is with great sadness that the family of Harold Dootson announces his passing on October 4, 2015.
He is survived by his sons, Kevin and Dylan (Tammy); grandchildren Nick, Sophie, Mitchell and Garrett; his loving friend and companion Barb Uhl. He is also survived by sisters Irene Crabb, Mary Newton, Norma Lakusta (Dave), and brother Roger Dootson (Joan), and many loving relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents William and Adelaide Dootson and his sister Joyce.
As a Dad, a teacher, a friend, he will be missed dearly by everyone who knew him; though that Harold voice is stilled, the family would like to invite his friends and family to celebrate the life of Harold Dootson at the Royal Canadian Legion in Ponoka on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at 1:00 p.m.

My condolences to family and friends. I was very sad to hear the news about Mr. Dootson's passing. He was my all time favorite teacher from the Ponoka Composite High School back in the late '60's. He sparked my interest in reading which remains to this day.

Condolences to those who knew and loved him. Mr. Dootson was my teacher at Bashaw High in the late sixties. He was a very inspiring character because he could play guitar with the best. ( and he did), but also because of the way he engaged and tried to inspire his students to strive for and not be afraid of greatness. It was a great pleasure for my family and myself to reconnect with him a few times in recent years. He will be fondly remembered.

My deepest sympathy to all of Harold's family. I remember him well and so enjoyed seeing him at the school reunion in Irma a few years ago. May he rest in peace.
