Obituary for Charles Henry "Harry" Crowston

CROWSTON: Charles Henry “Harry” passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 2, 2022 at Rideau Park Personal Home with family by his side. Harry was born in Killarney, Manitoba on June 5, 1927 to Dorothy and Harold Crowston and moved to Boissevain with his family at a young age. As a young man, he worked with his father in the family blacksmith shop in Boissevain. After the closing of the blacksmith shop, Harry worked for the Manitoba Department of Highways Engineering Department in Boissevain. In 1967, he married Vivian (nee Porter) and moved to Brandon, continuing to work for the Department of Highways until he retired in 1987. Harry's retirement years were spent pursuing his love of golf, curling, gardening and woodworking. Harry was a long-time member of the Masonic Lodge and the Royal Canadian Legion. He was predeceased by his mother and father, wife Vivian, brother George and sister-in-law Lee, brother Jack and sister-in-law Marcia. Harry was a very special Uncle and will be sorrowfully missed by his many nieces and nephews. The family would like to extend a very special thank you to the staff at Rideau Park Personal Care Home for their kindness and compassion for Harry. A private family service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Harry may be made to the Diabetes Canada, #401 – 1 Wesley Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3C 4C6.
