Harold Wilfred Lillies

Obituary

Passed on August 25, 2020

September 13, 1943 – August 25, 2020           Peacefully, with his wife and children holding his hand, we said goodbye to Harold (Papa Bear). He is survived by his wife Betty, children: Jamey (Lisa), Carrie (Brett), Susan (Jeff), Shauna (Vince), grandchildren: Brad and Jarrett (Ali), Katie and Emily, Sydney, Amber (Cole) and Arlee, great-grandchildren: Aleah, Natalie and Jameson, brother: Neil (Darlene), and his beloved fur-baby Cee-Cee. Wonderful memories to list a few with Papa: fishing and hunting trips, picking wild sage and morels, playing crib, Christmas dinners with Papa’s favorite turkey stuffing, and of course Papa’s famous fish fry’s. Nothing was better than Papa’s freshly caught pickerel, breaded and fried to perfection. Harold enjoyed fishing and hunting, spending time tinkering in his garage, and cuddling up in his recliner with his “good little dog” Cee-Cee. He was always so proud of all his grandchildren and everything that they had accomplished. He loved nothing more than to spend time with his family creating memories that will last a lifetime. He loved his time guiding on the Winnipeg River as he referred to as “God’s Country”. As a father and grandpa, he was our heart, the rock that we stood on, our compass through life, our advisor, confidant, and our guiding light. There will be no formal service, a private family celebration of his life will be held at a later date. Cast a line, hook a master in his memory. You are just a memory away.
