Daniel Harold “Harlie” Maclennan

April 15, 1933 - December 12, 2020

Born in Inverness, Nova Scotia, Harlie died peacefully at Faith Manor in Brampton, at the age of 87 on Saturday, December 12, 2020.

Harlie was the dear brother of Sarah “Sadie” Murphy (Wayne). He was predeceased by parents Charles and Catherine and siblings Philip “Philly”, Mary “Baye”, Francie, Cameron, Laughlin “Lauchie” and Lawrence. Harlie will be missed and lovingly remembered by his many nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews, along with other family members and friends.

Harlie was an active businessman and world traveller. He enjoyed cooking, golf and was described as a guy with good taste and style. He loved his summer vacations in Port Hood, Nova Scotia accompanied by his faithful dog Churchie and was an enthusiastic and frequent guest at family events around the GTA. Harlie was a gentleman with a smile that lit up any room.

At a future date, a service will be held at Saint Peter’s Church along with interment at St. Peter’s Cemetery in Port Hood, Nova Scotia. A Celebration of Life will be held in Mississauga at a later time.

Harold was always this amazing, debonair uncle who always made us feel like we were special and loved. He was endlessly kind and always made us laugh.
We will miss him as much as we miss our own parents.
We love you Harold, God Bless and say hi to Mom and Dad when you get to Heaven.

I have so many fond memories of my godfather, Harlie. Learning to fish at his cottage that he would always invite us up to in Muskoka, listening to the stories of his overseas business ventures, and the excited praise of any achievement, great or small, growing up are just a few that come to mind. He loved his family deeply, and his presence will be greatly missed, but knowing that he is in a better place is a great consolation. Goodbye, Harlie.

Harlie was was a very special person in our lives and given the time of year, I am even more more reminded of memories that flowed around the Christmas season. Harlie was the godfather and great uncle of Thomas Blaine Burton, our son. When Thomas was very young, we hosted many Christmas dinners with just five of us; Harlie, his sidekick, friend and nephew, my brother Davd Ellement and Thom and me. These Christmas Eve dinners evolved eventually to include more friends and extended family members who have shared with me their fond memories of Harlie's friendly personna and wonderful stories. We love him and will miss him very much; he will never be forgotten.
