Mr. Harold Wilkinson of Hawkesbury passed away surrounded by his family on Saturday, June 8th, 2024, at the age of 72.

He was the cherished husband of Lise Wilkinson and the beloved son of the late Sidney and the late Ula May Wilkinson. Harold will be forever remembered as the devoted father of Julie, Tom, Jaime (Iyad), Michel-André (Christiane), and Asher (Gabe). A proud grandfather, his legacy lives on through Kyle, Kassidy, Riley, Owen, Theo, Noah, Maxime, and Emilie. He was a dear brother to Sidney (late Monica), and joins his late sisters Esther (late Roch) and Leona (late Wayne) in eternal rest.
