I haven't had the pleasure of knowing the Haggerty family long.
I first met Harold at Deborah and Joseph's wedding this spring. He called me father. He thought I was the priest marrying his daughter, mostly due to my wonderful ability in picking the right suit for the occasion. The humor we shared in that first moment made the introduction a fun, relaxed and memorable one.
My first impression of him was of silent, but strong inner power. A man whose presence does not go unnoticed. I have a feeling that he had that effect in all he did during his life. And even though my time with him was very short, I feel privileged in having met him.
I feel a loss in his absence, not of a son or brother, but in not having the opportunity to get to know him. For in the short time I have shared with him, and in the time I have shared with his wife, his sons and daughters, and his family as a whole, I have come to see a wonderful man. And since all I have seen is but a shadow of his true self, then the real man, must have been great indeed.
To you all that share in his loss, I offer my thoughts, my prayers, and my deepest sympathies.

Dear Papa,
I am sorry that I could not be there with you during the time that you needed your family the most, I am just doing what you did, fighting for your country to bring honor to your name, and let me tell you, you did just that. You are in my heart and prayers just like you will always be until the day I see you in heaven. You were my grandfather and you always will be. I love and miss you so much.
Your loving grandson

Nanny, Mom, Aunt Debra, Aunt Ellen, Uncle Robert, Uncle Edward, my thoughts and prayers go out to you also. I love you all so very much.

Queridos Bob, Norma y familia:
Por este medio quisiera hacerles saber que los acompaño en su pena. Que aunque fue poco el tiempo que convivimos tienen un lugarcito muy especial en mi corazón y siempre tendré presente el cariño con que me trataron el tiempo que estuve en Montreal. Quiero que sepan que los acompañaré con el sentimiento, pero sobre todo con oraciones, tanto para el padre de Bob como para las personas que ahora sufren su ausencia. Les mando un abrazo enorme y espero que poco a poco se puedan ir reponiendo de esta pérdida tan grande. Todo mi cariño!

To Flo, Ellen, Bev, Deborah-Ann and Norma: please accept the sincere condolences of the Membership and Executive of the Ladies Auxiliary of NDG Legion Branch 24/106 on the passing of our dear friend, Harold. He was always a staunch supporter of all our events and he will be truly missed. How fitting that he left us in the Year of the Veteran -
he was such a proud Korean Vet!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this difficult time. Roberta Wheeler, President.

Dearest big Sister Florence, nieces and nephews Ellen, Deb, Bev, Bill Allister, Robert and Edward, and to your spouses and Grand Children:
We share your sorrow and regret not being with you. We cannot imagine the sadness and pain that you feel right now at the loss of your and our family's beloved Harold.
Take peace in knowing that he is free of the pain and heartache and that he knows that you no longer have to endure his suffering. He would be relieved of that. Try to remember the fun times and celebrate his existence. The space he leaves with all of you will be filled with his love and will forever be a part of you,wherever you are, and you a part of him.
Heaven has welcomed a wonderful person to be given the task of watching over you. And he is probably having a cup of 'strong' tea right now with Roy and they're saying "we sure made a gang of kids, didn't we. And they will be fine". Take pride Florence and gang in knowing that between you and Harold, and Mom and Dad, you were married 100 plus years.
Although you all need time to grieve and accept our loss try to think about what Harold would want of you and all of us at this time.
God Bless you and give you strengh.We love you and are with you.

I want to thank him for any and all things that he contributed to making you the wise and wonderful person that you are.

I have many memories of "Papa" but something I will never forget, is that he made me feel "at HOME" from the first time we met.
I love you Dad, and will miss you always
