This Valley Pioneer was born and died at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Comox. He was predeceased by 3 sisters, 2 brothers, daughters Harlene (Lloyd) and infant Bonnie. Survived by Margaret, wife and fishing partner for 70 years, son Floyd (Sarah), 8 grandchildren and 9 great grandsons.

Harry was a lifetime coastal truck logger, operating Cearley & Trotter Logging for 30 years. He was innovative and recognized for pioneering new logging equipment. He was proud to have served Canada in WW2. Recently he was acknowledged for his 50 year Mason and Shriner membership.

Harry always had a welcome smile, generous heart and long stories, his favourite sayings were “when you get a minute” or “give me a call in the spring before you hire out”.
