In Celebration of

Harold Joseph Christie

June 6, 1942 -  April 26, 2020

Harold Christie of Toronto, ON passed away suddenly on Sunday, April 26, 2020 at the age of 77. Born in Bathurst, NB, he was the eldest son of the late Allie and Edna (Kennedy) Christie.

Harold spent the first 45 years of his life in Bathurst, where he raised his daughters and worked at Brunswick Mines. He relocated to Toronto, finishing his career as Safety Manager with Metro Toronto. One of his passions was spending time at his hunt camp with his brothers and hunting buddies. He loved his hunting adventures, and recounting tales of the “one that got away”.

As well as being an avid outdoorsman, Harold remained a dedicated tennis player to the end. He counted many friends among his fellow players, both in Toronto and Naples, Florida, where he spent his winter months.

He looked forward to his trips to New Brunswick to see his daughters and grandchildren, always willing to put his work clothes on to build or fix something. Spending time with family and friends was important to him.

Survived by his wife of over 30 years, Damaris Anne Robinson; Daughters Carolyn Vincent (Ian Nelson) of Moncton, NB; Nancy Christie (Jean-Marc Mazerolle) of Bathurst, NB; and Katie Christie of Moncton, NB along with his grandchildren Christie Vincent (Jesse Demmons) and Annie Vincent, Colin Saunders and Chloe Mazerolle. He will also be greatly missed by step-children Derek Robinson, Jeremy Robinson (Catherine Choi) and their children Fisher, Gretchen, and Noah.

He also leaves his brother Wayne (Diane); sisters Betty Rose and Donna (Edgar) Cameron all of Bathurst, and Jeannie Christie (Ontario), as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents he was predeceased by his brother Raymond (Lorraine).


Private arrangements have taken place. At a time when we are able to gather again, a celebration of life will be held. For those who wish, donations may be made to Ducks Unlimited or a charity of your choice.

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your father Carolyn. I can see a resemblance of your father in you. Very handsome picture of him. So very sad to die so young. I hope you will draw comfort from your family and your many friends. Take care during the sad time for you and your family.

Carolyn, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. I just want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. A difficult time like this is made so much more so by not being able to have family around.

I pray that your memories of your Dad will help sustain you through this time.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of your DAD and our Friend. He will be truly missed. My dad and I had the pleasure of working with him at the City of Toronto and spending time enjoying the great outdoors. In recent years my boys also had the experience of meeting your DAD. Right from the beginning he treated my sons as if he had known them forever. Giving them lessons on how to hunt for deer and welcoming them to the outdoors. We were always amazed at his skills and ability to put up deer stands and have numerous projects on the go. He truly had the strength of 1000 men and a heart full of love. I can picture him right now walking around heaven's forest and looking to setup deer stands. GOD is sure in for a treat with your DAD.

May GOD bless and comfort you and your family during this time of grief. Please accept our sincere condolences.
