Obituary of Harrol Joseph Johnston

Harrol Joseph Johnston of Calgary passed away at home in the loving arms of his family at the age of 80 years. Harley was born on March 19, 1928 in Coleman, AB. A gentleman and gentle man, he was generous of heart and soul to all who knew him. His honour and integrity reflected a giant among men. Dad’Ns true passion in life was his family. Over the years, family and friends have gathered to enjoy celebrations and undoubtedly be tickled by his dry wit and sense of humour. Dad also loved his cars, golf, a good game of cards; and in recent year’s, winter retreats with Lucille to Mesa, AZ. A pipefitter by trade, Harley worked for the CPR for forty-two years in the Ogden and Alyth shops. He was also a member of the Navy Reserve out of HMCS Tecumseh. Harley leaves behind his sweetheart and wife of fifty-eight years, Lucille; their children, Joseph and wife Doris, Linda Silvius and husband Dana, Bruce and wife Teresa; grandchildren Cynthia, Luke, Dave, Aaron, Christian and Adam; great-granddaughter Grace; three brothers and three sisters, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Belle and Dan Johnston, and brother Don.
