Don Harron

I remember when Don did the radio voice for Charlie Farkinson, played on Hee Haw, did a TV commercial about life insurance policy. He even read story about "A Christmas Carol" at the Bridge Street United Church a number of years ago, although I never got to see him. However, I did get to se Dave Devall, and Max Keeping when they read the Christmas Carol story ta Bridge Street Church. I'm going to miss hearing Don. He was a great guy

Condolences to Dons family. I only knew Don and his parents and it was many years ago. I did briefly know Catherine, when they owned Spot of Tea, we often spoke on the phone. He was always one of my favorite people, I miss him.

Oh my Goodness, I have watched every show of HEE. HAW since I was a child and I still watch them on my cell. Your Dad could make me laugh no matter what my day was about . I will always smile when I watch them on my cell. He is a wonderful legion in his own time. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR THOSE WONDERFUL MEMORIES. YOU ARE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE A FATHER LIKE HIM.

Such a nice person and a great neighbor 1943,

For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name by ministering and continuing to minister to the holy ones. (Hebrews 6:10). This one will never be forgotten for all the work that was done for this community and especially those encouraged and inspired in this persons' care. May God continue to strengthen the family and friends in these times hard to deal with (2 Tim 3:1), especially without a beloved one such as this talented and loved person gone from our lives but not forgotten.

Goodby dear friend of many years ago when in London starring in Mary Mary. I'll always remember your kindness and your wit. Rest with the angels now,

Don Harron is the Greatest Actor on TV.

I thank the big man upstairs for the opportunity of spending some special time over the last ten years with a man who was a true renaissance man. Actor, author, director, producer and comedic genius. Thanks

Don Harron was a good person to work with. I got to know him as a dear client and friend in my mom's Literary Agency, The Canadian Speakers' and Writers' Service Limited. He was the Master of Ceremonies many years ago for my mom's 50 years in business at the Famous People Players. I enjoyed going to all the book launches. He was always kind and professional in all that he did. He will be missed by Paul, Matie and Julius Molinaro.
Sincerely, Paul Molinaro

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Don's humor and presence will be greatly missed by the many whose lives were deeply touched by him. Be assured that he is in God's memory and that he is precious in God's eyes.

Lasting memories from Muskoka days.
The Reverend John Gordon Sloan.

My deepest condolences to the Harron family. Don's time had come to leave us here on Earth but rest assured he is starting a second career up there in Heaven now with my Dad in a front row seat!

Our condolences and thoughts are with you all . Don Harron (Charlie) will be missed . What an incredible legacy he has left behind . Thinking of you all .

My condolences to the Harron family. I'm 59 and I am unable to remember a time when I did not know his name. Don was a great stage performer at Stratford as well as a great comedian. I finally met Don in person at a garden party in Rosedale in 2007 or so. As Don was in character as Charlie, when Don autographed the event playbill, he personalized the signing and spelled my name phonetically as Dug Krayg. Don was a truly great personality and will be missed by all Canadians.

I was in the same class as your sister Mary.I had never met you,but recall the teacher mentioning your name,to Mary & both having a laugh.At the time,I thought "what a colourful person"You were indeed.The world will miss you.
Sincerely,Amy Murphy(Mortimore)

Thank you, Don Harron (and Charlie Farquharson) for the gift of laughter you gave us and a unique take on being Canadian. I first read your Histry of Canada (immediately followed up by Jogfree of Canada) when I was a teenager I laughed so hard my parents thought I was crying hysterically in my room. You were truly an original.

This world has lost a shinning star. I loved you on HeeHaw. You made me laugh more times than I can remember. Go with God son. RIP.

R.I.P. Don. Thank you for sharing your humor and talent with us over the years. You were a true Canadian and we will miss you.

very sadden to hear of the passing of Don
he was a Canadian fixture across Canada.
I enjoyed him when he did his farmer routine Charlie especially in Canada. I remember him coming to Halifax for a Christmas Daddies telethon and he told the story that while at the local liquor story a patron was saying Christmas for the children while at the same time loading the car with a couple of bottles of scotch. He will be missed

I was Easter Seal Tammy in 1985. When Mr. Harron realized that I wasn't finishing my steak at more than one fundraising banquet, he arranged for me to get spaghetti at the next event we attending together :) I will miss your laughter my friend, RIP. Charmaine Tuzi (Miller)

March 30, 1993 was a memorably warm and happy day for Marg Spearin's Grade 2 class at Forest Hill Public School. It brought a surprise visit from a very distinguished guest – Charlie Farquharson (Don Harron)
It all started with the life sized cut-out picture of Charlie that stood and welcomes everyone to Grade 2!
Many children knew his character from the Del Monte commercial, had become accustomed to Charlie as a classroom personality and now regarded him as a friend.
The children so enjoyed writing letters to Charlie. Many mentioned his old gray sweater and his friendly, funny personality. All included a joke and many asked him to visit the school if he ever came to Kitchener.
It was difficult to say whether the students or the teacher were more thrilled with a visit from Charlie! He was greeted by a roomful of delighted and surprised children. He brought the book of letters the children had sent and each child had the opportunity to read his or her own letter. For a whole hour, Charlie laughed with the children and listened closely and patiently to their work. Each child came away feeling important and proud that Charlie would take the time for his busy travels to visit them. They knew that he truly was their good friend.
To the Harron family, Don touched young and old, keep close all your warm and wonderful memories!

What an amazing gift you have been to those who loved you and those whom you loved. For the rest of us, you have gifted us with your great humour that reflected the best that isCanada and Canadians, one and all. Rest in Peace after a life well lived.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Don for several wonderful years. Fastest pun in the west.

Just to say I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

God is an amazing God!
I enjoyed his funny humor especially on "Hee Haw"..For his family I pray for your strong shoulders and your loving hearts..

To the Harron family, I was deeply saddened to hear about Don. He had a heart of gold, and a wit to match! Being on the Organizing Committee for the Bobby Orr Skate-A-Thon for a number of years, I was truly blessed with the opportunity to spend some time with Don (or shall I say Charlie) every year ... and cherish the photo of Charlie & I. He will forever remain in my heart & hearts of all lives he touched.

I am very sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort be with you during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
My heartfelt condolences to the family during this time of sorrow. (1Corinthains 15:26) (Isaiah 61:1,2) Please find peace in knowing that He understands your grief and He cares. 1 Peter 5:6, 7

My Condolences to the Harron Family.... and to Catherine...During my tenure as AD at the Kings Playhouse in the 1990's, we had the absolute pleasure of an evening with Catherine and Don as they presented Love Letter's. The laughter rumbled the rafters too and fro...Don's humour and wit will be ever present in our hearts!

A great loss to the Canadian Stage. Don You will be missed. All our love to Claudette.
Chris & Maggie

I am so so sorry for your loss. Kelley, I remember your dad so well. He was always so kind and was wonderful to me as your friend. I have such clear memories of being in your home and your cottage. I was very fortunate to have known him.

He was my friend.

My condolences to the family. Don was truly one of a kind.

To the Harron family, I am truly sorry for your loss. I had the good fortune to work, and get to know Don at CJOH when I was working on "Shhh it's the News". He was one of the nicest people that I have worked with...."Jogfree of Canada" just came out and I got him to sign it before we started on the show, I will cherish that momento.....he will be missed, one of Canada's finest......

Harron, Family, I'm to hear about the loss of Don. Losing a parent no matter how old they are, it's still hard.
He was a talented man. I remember watching "Anne of Green Gables" and "Hee Haw".
When Don hears God's voice, he will wake to a world where he will return to the vigor of his youth. I'm looking forwad to meeting Don when that time comes and at the same time, I will be reuntied with my beloved parents.

So sorry for the loss,may God Almighty bless the family...........

May your household find peace and comfort in knowing sickness, pain and death will one day be gone for this has been promised. With my deepest condolences for your loss.

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

May the Lord be with you and bring you comfort in your time of loss. Don brought a lot of smiles to me growing up watching KORN news on Hee Haw. I can only imagine what he was like off the show. May the memories bring you smiles for years to come.

Thanks to Direct TV I get to see Don on HEE-HAW every week. Also, thanks to closed caption I get to understand what he is saying.He was a big part of the show.

I am very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed watching your Dad for many years as "Charlie".

Please accept my prayers and condolences for Don's family now and in the days ahead.

God bless you all. He will surely be missed by many.

My condolences to the family. I remember watching "Hee-Haw" as a child-very funny show. May the laughter he ignited always remain in your heart. May God give you comfort during this time of sorrow.

Rest well, Mr. Harron. It's so sad we never get the thank those who made such impressions on us as children and young people. Take care and thanks for the laughter and dedication to your work.

Watch you every Sunday on RFD-TV on reruns but also did as a child every week God Bless your family and the entire Hee Haw family. You were wonderful Godspeed my friend.

My thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort are with you all. Don brought so much laughter into my home as a child. May his smile be your guiding lights in the weeks ahead.

To Charlie: I'll miss ya! To his Family and Friends: May your memories of Don bring you peace. With Deepest Sympathy.

A pure comic genius. You will be dearly missed.

My condolences to the Harron family. It's never easy losing someone you love and while comforting words are appreciated, they often fall short of alleviating sorrow. In times like these, I find Psalm 121 to be helpful. I hope you will also.
