Obituary-

Harold passed away peacefully at Smiths Falls Community Hospital, Friday, February 12, 2016, at age 91. Born December 11, 1924, in Leeds, England, only child of the late Joseph and Marian (Clough) Burrow. Married 70 years to his beloved wife Joyce (Mitchell) Burrow. Cherished father of Graham and Beverly of Greenbush, Lynn of Picton, and Brant (Winhara) of Brockville. Harold emigrated from England in 1949, settling in Montreal, Quebec, where he worked for Bell Canada for 37 years. In 1977, Harold again established roots in Leeds (County) - this time, Ontario - where he called Greenbush his home for the last 39 years. During the 1950's, Harold was an active member of "The Bell Show", entertaining Canadian troops in some interesting and remote places. As a result, Harold held the distinction of becoming an "Airborne Iceworm" in 1955, flying over the Arctic Circle. Harold was proud to be a Scout Master, both in England and Canada. In his retirement, Harold enjoyed many hours puttering away in his workshop. In memory of Harold, donations to the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation or the Heart and Stroke Foundation will be gratefully acknowledged.
