Harold Edward Tabler

Harold Tabler passed away on Monday, October 11, 2021 at the Peter Lougheed Centre, Calgary at the age of 84 years. He will be dearly missed by his wife of 65 years Joyce Tabler (nee Nichol); their son Patrick Tabler (Kathy) of Calgary; their daughter Judith Tabler (John Roche) of Calgary; four grandchildren John Tabler, Alexandra Tabler, Michael Tabler (Kim), all of Calgary, and Nicholas Tabler (Kaiyu) of Vancouver; one brother Herb Tabler of Edmonton; a sister-in-law Ella Tabler of Saskatoon; numerous nieces and nephews that live throughout Canada.

Harold was predeceased by three brothers Gus Tabler, Karl Tabler and Fritz Tabler; and sisters-in-law Mary, Iris and Agnes.

Harold was born and raised on a farm in Young, Saskatchewan. After High School, he and his High School Sweetheart Joyce (lovingly known as Punk) moved east where Harold joined the Air Force and they were married. After Harold’s stint in the RCAF, he worked for the Ontario Provincial Police. They returned to Saskatchewan with their little family and after 5 or 6 years settled in Calgary. Harold was a skilled Equipment Operator, Welder and Heavy Duty Mechanic and a proud member of U.A. Local 496. Later in his working years, Harold designed and built unique wheelchair stair lifts. Among many of Harold’s interests, he could be found enjoying an Olympia beer. He was a wonderful husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Private family services will be held in Calgary with a Graveside service in Young, SK at a later date. Our deepest thanks to Dr. Tsoi and the caring staff on Unit 44 at the PLC for their wonderful care of Harold and our family. If friends desire, memorial tributes may be made to the Salvation Army.
