Our condolences. Many fond memories of Dan from Ungourmet, IHM and our walks at Riviera, hugs, Cathy and Jim

Chers cousins et cousine, chère tante Hélène,
Je suis profondément touchée p;ar le départ de Dan, un homme pour qui j’avais une grande admiration, un beau modèle d’homme et de canadien.
J’ai de si bons souvenirs des moments qui nous permettaient de nous retrouver au Lac St-Joseph ou chez grand-maman Saint-Jacques.
Aurai-je la possibilité de me joindre à vous le 2 juillet ? Je lignore encore.
Déjà je vous offre toute ma sympathie et l’assurance des prières de ma communauté.
Hélène, votre cousine

Sincere condolences Mike to you and your family on the passing of your father. He sounds like a great guy who lived a very full life. May your memories be a comfort in the days ahead.

Chère tante Hélène, cousins, cousines,

Nos plus sincères condoléances à vous ainsi qu’à toute ta famille en cette période si difficile.

Le départ de Dan nous touche profondément. Nous garderons le souvenir d’un homme droit, attentionné et généreux de son temps. Il avait toujours une histoire à raconter, puisée dans les nombreuses aventures qu’il a vécues au fil de sa vie mais aussi inspirée par sa sagesse. Parti de son Angleterre natale pour servir au sein des Forces armées canadiennes, il a parcouru le monde et découvert tant de pays, tout en entraînant avec lui sa belle famille dans cette grande aventure.

Nous allons nous m’ennuyer de son rire sincère, de sa présence chaleureuse et de son charmant français cassé qui faisait sourire tous ceux qui l’entendaient. Heureusement, il nous restera tous ces précieux souvenirs qui continueront de nous faire penser à lui.

Au revoir, Dan. Tu laisses derrière toi une belle trace dans le cœur de ceux qui t’ont aimé. Là-haut, il y a certainement des anges qui auront besoin de toi, de ta sagesse, de ton dévouement et de tes histoires.

Avec toute notre affection et nos pensées,

Sandra et Robert

Dan était un vrai gentleman dans tous les sens du mot. Fier d’avoir servi avec lui. Mes condoléances à toute sa belle famille.

Il est difficile de trouver les mots devant une si grande perte. Pour nous, il était bien plus qu’un membre de la famille : il était un véritable modèle, un homme sur qui l’on pouvait toujours compter, un conseiller précieux et une personne profondément généreuse. Il avait ce rare talent de rassembler les gens, de faire rire et de transformer les moments passés ensemble en souvenirs inoubliables. Je garderai toujours en mémoire nos magnifiques Noëls en famille, remplis de sa joie de vivre et de sa présence si chaleureuse.

Son départ laisse un immense vide, mais aussi l’héritage d’un grand homme qui a marqué tous ceux qui ont eu le privilège de le connaître. Nous partageons votre peine de tout cœur et vous offrons nos plus sincères condoléances.

Condolences to the family from another former Commanding Officer of 4 Signal Squadron. Although we never served together, our paths crossed on many occasions. RIP after a full and worthy life. VVV

Our sincere condolences to Madame Harrison and General Harrison’s family, I had the honour to serve under General Harrison at Communications Command HQ for a number of years, a true gentleman and leader. It’s been a number of years since we met on the canal in later years, you remembered me and asked about my life since being in uniform. I told you I was a manager at CSE and you wondered if there was a job there for you, we both chuckled, I’m sure there was. Rest in peace Sir, serving you was never work, it was a pleasure and I always found happiness in your kind words of encouragement, helping to mold me for the future. VVV

I first meet Lt Harrison in Apprentice Training,Vimy Barracks, Kingston. I was a 16 year old Signals Apprentice and he was our Training Officer. As our careers progressed we meet many times in many places throughout the years. My highlight was when he promoted me to MWO when we were serving in HQ Cdn Forces Communication Command. We meet many times after. He was not only my Commanding Officer many times, he was a friend, and set an example for all of what an Officer and Soldier was. Rest in Peace, Sir. You will always be remembered. V V V

Dan is a truly remarkable man whose life reflected integrity, wisdom, and unwavering character. He was genuine in every sense of the word—a caring, loving, and generous person whose warmth, wit, and quiet charm made everyone around him feel welcome, which is quite a feat considering how stiff a tête carré he could be ! Whether offering thoughtful advice, sharing a laugh, or simply leading by example, he left a lasting impression on me as kid, a teenager and as an adult, when I truly felt the measure of the man. I feel privileged to have been a part of his extended family. He was, is and will always be the embodiment of the very best qualities of a gentleman, a father and a leader.

I am deeply saddened that I cannot be there to celebrate Dan’s extraordinary life and to stand beside my aunt and my cousins. I will miss you all and send you my love. I would have so wanted to be with you to honor a man who meant so much to me as a model and a true servant of his family and his country. His legacy will live on in the values he instilled, the lives he touched, and the example he set for all of us. May his memory forever be a source of strength, pride, and comfort.

Dan was my CO in 4 Sigs Sqn, Germany, in the mid-1960s. A true gentleman and fondly remembered VVV

It was an honor to meet and take care of Mr. Harrison when I got to. Rest peaceful sir.

Our sincere condolences to Mike and your extended family. Our prayers will be with you. May your father be more than just a memory in all of you and give you strength and love in this time.

Nos plus sincères condoléances à Hélène et à sa famille. General Dan was a true gentleman and inspiring leader within Signals. We shall remember…

Dear Mrs. Harrison, Suzie, Mike and Steve and families.
My sincere condolences on the passing of your treasured husband and dad. I have great memories of visits to the house on Marcel and will always recall Mr. Harrison ‘s kindness with “us kids”.
Une vie bien remplie.
Fondly, Elizabeth Paproski & Family
