Obituary of Harold Speight

Mr. Harold Allen Speight was born in Saint John, NB on January 29, 1952; He was raised by Amos and Fannie (Henwood) Snider.

In December of 1974, Harold would meet the love of his life, Grace Callaghan and a few short months later on February 15, 1975 they would be married. Together they would build a life for 47 years, celebrating that life with four beautiful children, six grandchildren and one great grandchild. Harold loved each and everyone of them with all of his heart.

Harold was a give the shirt off his back kind of man. One with a huge heart and a kindness that spread on throughout his actions. He loved to laugh, make others laugh and spread joy whenever he could. 

In his younger years, he had a passion for the ice. Every Sunday he could be faithfully found doing what he loved, playing hockey. He was a solid Toronto Maple Leafs fan, and nothing could sway him.  He also had a love for video games.

He will live on in the hearts of his loving wife, Grace; his children: Marsha Dalling and her husband Leonard of Chambers Settlement, Amos Speight of Hawkes Lane, Garnett Speight of Sussex and Julie Nelson and her husband Josh of Riverglade; his siblings: Joan Brown  and her husband Gordon of Springhill, Willis Snider and his wife Debbie of Sussex and Arlene McQuinn  and her husband Paul; six grandchildren: Mary Grace Norton  and her husband Lawrence, Katelyn Dalling and her partner Kobe, Kennedi Dalling, Michael Dalling, Alexis Nelson and Damian Nelson; his great grandson, Mikey; as well as several nieces and nephews.
