Obituary of Harold Ernest Molzan

Harold Ernest Molzan was born on Dec. 27, 1942 on the homestead in Stump Lake, SK. to Karl and Augusta Molzan. He attended Rabbit Bluff School finishing grade eight. Harold helped with all the chores on the farm as well as looking after his pet moose. He started milking cows when he was five years old, and he drove a team of horses hauling bundles to the threshing machine when he was only 13 years old. He worked away from home for a few years and then moved back home and took over the family farm. He met Marjory and they were married on August 30th, 1969. In Oct. 1975 they adopted their first child, Jeffrey; and in December of 1978 they adopted their second child, Connie. Harold and his kids made several trips to the Stump Lake Store usually to bring cream to be shipped once a week or just to spoil his kids. He loved the challenge of a card game, crib, canasta, whist, it didn’t really make much difference, if it involved cards he was ready to play. Harold was an avid hunter and fisherman. He was a member of the Parkview Wildlife Federation for many years. Harold loved to visit with people. His children and grandchildren were very special to him and he would spend as much time as possible with all of them. Harold loved the wildlife and he stocked many lakes with fish and he fed the deer every winter down the hill from where they lived. Harold fought a gallant fight and never complained, first against MS for 13 years and then Cancer!
