Obituary for James Clayton Harrison
In Loving Memory of James Clayton Harrison
It is with great sadness that the family announce the peaceful passing of James “Jim” Harrison at the Haliburton Hospital on Wednesday, September 22, 2021, with his loving family by his side. Jim was in his 84th year.
Beloved husband of Elinor (nee Sherriff) for over 57 years. Loving father of Michele and her husband Greg, Wanita and her partner Stephen. Cherished Poppa to Duncan, Ben, Jaime, Kelsey and his great grandson Mason. Son of the late Norman and Velma Harrison and predeceased by his 6 brothers and 3 sisters. Fondly remembered by his “sister” Merlyn Stoate, her husband Tom Sr., his godson Tom Jr. (Hiedi) and many nieces, nephews, family and friends.
Jim was born and raised in Haliburton. After a brief time in Toronto, Jim returned home to Maple Lake with his wife to raise their family.
Jim spent much of his working career at Carnarvon Building Supplies. Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, he held various positions on both the local and County Councils. Jim also served as an auxiliary OPP Officer with the Minden detachment and was a proud member of the Arcadia Masonic Lodge #440.
An avid outdoorsman, Jim enjoyed fishing and hunting, and spent many hours sharing this past time with family and friends. He believed there was nothing more important than helping others which he did at every opportunity.
Friends are invited to visit the family at the Gordon A. Monk Funeral Home Ltd., 127 Bobcaygeon Rd., P.O. Box 427, Minden K0M 2K0 on Friday, October 1st, 2021 from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm.
