Harry worked for the Department of Highways for 13 years (1957-1970). He then went to work for the Town of Melfort in 1970.

In November of 1991 Harry became known as Grandpa Chum when his twin grandsons Devin and Ryan were born. He was again blessed in August 1995 with granddaughter Kaitlin Mary. His grandchildren were the joy of his retirement.
Harry had a lifelong passion for horses. He was a true horseman. He bought, sold, traded and trained many horses throughout his lifetime. He loved riding in Community Pastures and being on cattle drives. He gave countless riding lessons to his grandkids and people in the Melfort area. He is remembered by his grandkids to always say after the lesson “Now go have Fun”.
