Harold W. Stump, of Hanover died at home on March 5, 2018.  Home was "Living on Fourteenth Street".  He was 82.  Harold/Moose was raised near the Bay of Islands situated between the Manitoulin Island and Espanola.  He particularly enjoyed the song "Somewhere on the Islands" by Gary Fjellgard.  After apprenticing to become a machinist at International Nickel in Sudbury he worked for ten years at the smelter and in the mines.  Then in the 1960s Ontario high schools needed technical teachers for their newly constructed shops.  Harold was hired to teach at WDSS in Walkerton.  The Stump family moved down in 1967.  While at WDSS he assisted with the Outdoor Education program.  This program included backpacking on the Bruce Trail, canoeing down the Spanish River, building quinzees and other outdoor activities.  Harold also enjoyed coaching football and both boys and girls hockey.  Frequently he spoke with former students on his outings.  It was mentioned that Harold was overheard saying that he wished to die with his partner Shirlee by his side and a can of Dab in his hand.  And that he had travelled many roads and not all of them were paved.  

Masonry was a big part of Harold's life.  The brethren will remember him as a stickler for details, a great resource for information, and one who enjoyed memorizing and delivering the work.  In June of 2017 Harold received his 60 year pin as a Mason.  It was a joyous occasion.  Harold enjoyed assisting and conversing with others, had a very quick wit, and believed in treating people fairly.  

Harold/Moose is survived by his wife Shirlee, daughter Suzanne of Ottawa and her children Moraa, Tsalane, Segane, and Cody, daughter Heather of Calgary and her son Alejo and his wife Lucy.  Also three sisters-in-law, Anne Eadie, Joan Stark, and Barb Jervis; one brother-in-law, Bob Jervis; and a number of nieces and nephews. There will be no funeral. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Harold's life will take place at a later date.  Memorial donations may be made to the Lung Association.  Arrangements entrusted to the Mighton Funeral Home, Hanover. Appreciation and thanks to Dr. Abell and the other health care workers who helped with Harold's care.  He enjoyed family and friends visits as well.  Harold believed as Polonius did:  "To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst then not be false to any man".
