There are so many memories that I have of Harry and me, as well as the Walkers and the Whites. All are really fun memories and also funny memories over the past 50 years. We have worked together, drank together, laughed and told stories together, and in the past 30 years shared lots of fun together with him, the Walkers, Mickey, and Terry. I know for the longest time we both thought it was going to last forever.
Outside of all the laughing and carrying on, the banter and the stories, Harry was a very smart man. A very kind man. A very hardworking man. And a man who dearly loved his family and was especially proud of his grandson Nicholas. It’s very unique to find his level of warmth in a man with so few words. He has been so good to me as a friend, so good to my children, and to my grandchildren. I could share anything with Harry which I was always confident that Harry kept totally confidential.
Oh the wonderful wonderful times we have had, and my life is much richer because of his friendship. His energy will continue on, will always be celebrated by me and Florence, and all of our family of the White Walker connection.
See you on the other side Harry

Loyal, steady, quiet, smart, funny and a True Friend....just a few of the words that come to mind when I think of our wonderful lifelong friend, Harry! He was the truest example of the real treasures in life. Harry as so smart, could turn his hand at anything, fix anything, and always with a dry sense of humor. I cannot look at anything around the house, patio, cabin or buildings in Gander that Harry Walker was not a big part of for myself and Pat. He was also a part of everything that Robin, Ian and Phallan did as well. Every single venture, Harry was there. More important than what he did, though, was who he was to me and our family as a very loved and respected friend. The little things like chicken on Tuesdays in Gander and Harry saying "there's no such thing as a bad beer" the millions of funny memories of him with I will cherish forever. While not related by blood, we were bonded by friendship and love. I miss him every day!

HERO
You held my hand when I was small
You caught me when I fell
You are the hero of my childhood
And my later years as well
And every time I think of you
My heart still fills with pride
Though I will always miss you Dad
I know you're by my side
In laughter and in sorrow
In sunshine and in rain
I know you're watching over me
Until we meet again.

What can I say about Harry! He was like a father to me. I looked up to him and admired his strength, selflessness and ambition. Harry was always there when I needed help with a project. I have the utmost respect for him. I enjoyed our chats while having a few cold ones. I will miss him. He will be forever in my heart.

My pop has always been my biggest fan and supporter. He was the giver of hugs and had so much love to offer. He would always ask me if I had any money or needed any money. I'm like no pop I'm good but there was no reasoning with him. I love him and will miss him very much.

My darling uncle, you were truly “The Salt of the Earth”. Always giving and expecting nothing in return. Always happy and positive, despite any hand you were dealt. Your smile lit up any room and your lighthearted spirit always made everyone feel safe and peaceful.
You were a stellar role model- because of you I know that true happiness can never be found from material things. Because of you, I know happiness is found in the simple things life has to offer us each and every single day.
Your legacy will forever live on in my heart and the memories I hold close to my heart will forever keep your spirit alive.
If I could share a fond memory- it would be this:
II can see you sitting at Mom and Dad’s kitchen table, smiling and laughing and telling funny stories. “I’m not certain if you knew just how funny and lighthearted you truly were”. You always were an absolute pleasure and I am so grateful and proud I get to call you “Uncle”. We love you with all our hearts- Terri-Lynn, Madison, Maiya and Stephen.

Sorry that we are unable to be there today with friends and family to celebrate Uncle Harry's life and who he was. Uncle Harry to me was just like Pop he made you feel at peace and comfortable no matter where you were. He didn't say a lot but a kind smile and light hearted joke was all it took to know you were in the presence of somebody special. Like Dad and so many others have said Uncle Harry was a saint and the world will feel his loss as we all do today but heaven got one of if not the best we have to offer and until we meet again Uncle Harry we will all miss you. Love you always Uncle Harry and thinking about you and our family today.

Uncle Harry, there is no true way to put into words what you have meant to us and every life you touched during your time here on earth. You were an angel who walked among us who will now be an angel watching over us. From my earliest of boyhood memories you were always there to lend a helping hand to anyone and everyone in need. Whether it be a family member, friend or complete stranger you never thought twice or expected anything in return. Seldom does someone come into our lives and leave such a lasting impact. From your grinish smile, to your hearty laugh, to your amazing sense of humour and a positive energy that could be felt for miles around. You were like a second father to me, an amazing brother to my mom, a best friend to my dad and for that I will forever be grateful. I hope you know the piece of everyone’s heart you own who have had the honour and privilege of crossing paths with you. I know the countless memories I have will help guide me through the trying days ahead. Until we meet again, keep listening when we talk to you as I know I often will. We love you Uncle Harry and may God bless, not all heroes wear capes !!

When I was young dad used to have a beard and moustache. I remember when he first shaved it off I was afraid to go near…lol
Growing up mom and dad had many parties where they would dance and sing, they had so much fun. Many dances to Statler Brothers and Patsy Cline.
The picture of myself, dad and the stuffed monkey named bonzo reminds me of my childhood as bonzo was always around and we would joke about this monkey in later years. And I still have that monkey to this day.

When myself and Travis were making the move to Gander, we stayed with Harry for 3 weeks while waiting for our house to close. He accepted me and Casey(my cat) into his home without batting an eye. I always felt at home and part of the family, and as the years passed we became just that, family. Every single time Travis talked to his Dad on the phone, every conversation ended with “Say hi to Carrie.” He always thought of everyone else before he thought of himself, and had a heart of gold. I loved him dearly and will miss him immensely. Now we will look for the signs that you are still with us. ❤️

My Dad was such an amazing man. He was the most selfless and caring person the grace our lives. When I was a little kid he would always let me tag along no matter what he was doing. It may have been fishing, cutting wood, going for a drive etc he loved having his little boy by his side. As I hold all my childhood memories close, it was when I got older he had the biggest impact. I have always noticed how respected my Dad was by everyone he knew and it made me so proud. His positivity and caring attitude was something special and I wanted to be more like him. It was his generous, caring and loving attitude that had such a big impact that he was making me a better person without even knowing it. He was so happy when I moved to Gander and was closer to home. The joy in his voice when I told him was something I'll never forget. When I moved closer it meant we could see each other more often and that's something he loved more then anything, family being together. We had so many great times chatting and laughing at the meetings and at home, that I'll always cherish. I know he was proud of his kids and we were always proud of him. I hope he knew how proud we were to call him Dad. He was the greatest Dad I could have asked for and he'll be missed immensely.
He's at peace now as he is reunited with our amazing Mom. Love you both and thank you for being the best parents ❤️

And mrs.Haynes they been there about 60 years your mom told me the story awhile after they were tighter for a while lol this was something you guys should have a laugh at.

My dad was everything to me! He gave so much and asked for so little in return.
It’s never easy to say goodbye to someone who has been apart of our lives. When that person is gone, there’s a hole left where he used to be.
It’s important to remember the good memories we all have of dad. By holding onto those memories, we can focus on the good times we had together and help each other to find comfort during this difficult time.
Dad was the most self-less, caring, loving, compassionate, funny, hardworking man. Always lending a helping hand to others, he lived a simple life. He’d give you the shirt off his back…he didn’t want money, he just wanted friends.
Growing up I remember his favorite music was by The Statler Brothers….Class of 57 and Pictures. But his absolute favourite was Charlie Shoes, he would sit back and whistle the tune while moving his feet. He would say Tracey rewind the cassette and we would playback the music again…it’s funny as a child I would be annoyed but now I would give anything to rewind that cassette once more!
But no one is like my dad. He was my biggest inspiration and true hero. He was a quiet, private man who always put his family first, no matter what. I’ll always remember the good times we have had and how much he has encouraged myself and my brother and my son, Nicholas to be all that we can be. He said he was proud of us, but we are proud of him!
We are stronger because of him. It’s hard to imagine a life without him but we will hold onto the memories we have.
Heaven needs a hero!
Love you so much, Dad!!

Uncle Harry….came across as a quiet man, but that’s only because his voice was calm, kind and low. In his presence we all felt loved and we all felt like we were his favourite niece or nephew because that’s exactly how he made us feel. He loved with all his heart and he always had a smile with kindness that came through his eyes when he looked at you. He joked around quite a bit and made us laugh and he was a gentle and humble soul. A brilliant man that mastered anything he touched and my fondest memory is how he looked at Aunt Francis. She lit up his face, made his world meaningful as he did with her. Their love was strong and could always be felt when you were in the same room with them. When uncle Tony and I sang Meatloaf, Paradise by the dashboard lights, in the living room at Uncle Harry’s one night, he grew quiet but smiled throughout the entire performance. He loved it and when ever I saw him afterwards for years he always bought that night up and how much he loved how Tony and I sang it. I also remember seeing him sitting at the kitchen table with Tom, Christine and Gord just chatting and having a few drinks and spending time together. A man that loved his entire family with everything he had. Uncle Harry - you were truly an amazing Uncle, man, father, husband, brother in law, brother, grandfather, son and friend to many. If the world had more people like you in it, we’d be a better world. You will be greatly missed and I wish you peace and I know for certain, your soul is once again with the woman you love unconditionally. Your respect for our Aunt has not gone unnoticed. We all took great pride and pleasure in watching your life unfold with Aunt Francis, Tracy and Travis, Aunt Chrissie who you embraced and loved like your own and Nicholas. RIP and know how much you were loved and we will always keep you in our heart and in our many conversations to come and your memory will live on through all of us. I love you and I will miss you deeply. Please give Aunt Francis, Aunt Therese, Nanny and Poppy Dwyer and Aunt Chrissie our love when you are with them. RIP my beautiful Uncle.

Uncle Harry was the best of all of us. My dad called him a Saint, mother Teresa, his favourite person. I've heard my entire life "you'll never find anyone better than Harry Walker" because he was full of love and kindness and patience. Anyone who has the absolute honor and privilege to know Uncle Harry loved him and has nothing but wonderful things to say about him. He was that person. A kind soul, a quiet calm presence, a wonderful friend. He will be missed always. But i keep thinking that someone like him has to go somewhere great. I hope he's with Nan and pop and Chrissy and his beautiful wife aunt Frances and is happy that he left such a beautiful mark on this world. That he was so loved. You will be forever missed uncle Harry. We love you forever. Thank you for being such a wonderful big brother to my mom and best friend to my dad and a kind and loving uncle to me and Kyle. You were one of a kind and if anyone deserves eternal peace and happiness it's you.

Harry was a very humble man and a man of few words but if you were lucky enough to be his friend he was great company. We (4 of his teenage friends) often rowed a boat out to Gills Point where we would spend hours on the bank of the point talking and having fun for hours and as the sun set we would row back to Norris Arm. Harry will be missed and that I know as we all stayed friends. May you his family continue to carry his memory in your hearts as all who knew him will. God + Bless you Harry!

We are so saddened by the loss of Harry. He was a loving and dedicated father to Tracey and Travis, proud grandfather to grandson Nick and friend to son in law Chad, as well as to many others in the community. My friend Tracey looked up to her dad and shared many special moments together at their family cabin. Harry was always ready with a smile and a greeting making you feel welcome, I am happy to have shared in those moments over the years and know that Tracey and her dad were blessed to have such special times together throughout the years. Rest in Peace Harry. My condolences to Harry's family and friends at this sad time.
