Martin
Harry Martin passed away suddenly at his home in Stettler, Alta. on July 29, 2024 at the age of 81 years.
He was born May 15, 1943, growing up on a farm near Bentley, Alta.
Harry married Doreen Grabill in 1965, soon after welcoming their daughter Lorrie. They resided in Red Deer for 10 years, then moving to a farm of their own northeast of Gadsby, Alta.
Following his interest in auto-motives, he decided to start his own business on the farm, while also raising cattle and pigs. He later joined Vesta Mine, as a heavy-duty mechanic until his retirement.
Harry enjoyed camping, fishing and wood working. He took great pride in his family, often organizing family get togethers. Their door was always open for a friendly game of cards and cup of coffee.
In the retirement years, he and his wife Doreen enjoyed playing some of their favourite activities with their friends at The Hub in Stettler.
Harry will be lovingly remembered by his wife of nearly 59 years Doreen; daughter Lorrie (Rick); grandchildren Chelsey and Nathan (Kayla); great-grandchildren Teagan and Brody; sisters Kay and Betty; brother Richard; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
In honouring Harry’s wishes no formal funeral service will be held.
