In Loving Memory
Harald Haralds
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our step-father, Harald Haralds. He was predeceased by his wife, and our loving mother, Sylvia Haralds, in July of 2025.
Harald, born of Icelandic parents, was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He became a young man interested in the newspaper business. For many years this vocation took him on travels around Canada and the US as a skilled printer. He eventually settled in Vernon, British Columbia, working for the Vernon Daily News until his retirement in his mid 50’s.
It was at this time he met our mother and they enjoyed 36 years of marriage together. He became step-father to four young adults and grandfather to twelve children.
Harald enjoyed a long life, reaching the age of 97 just last month. Their home on Appaloosa Way, overlooking Okanagan Lake, saw many years of happy family life. It was with great sadness that this home was eventually sold.
Harald is survived by his adult step-children, Randall Bremner, Brenda Fraser, Sandra Boyko, and Lori Peterson.

Worked with Garold at the Vernon Daily News, a respected gentleman, and always interesting to talk to.
My condolences.
I first met Harald in the early 1990s when I was a new reporter at the Morning Star. He took a keen interest in my career and I always enjoyed my chats with him.
My wife did Harald’s taxes for many years and he was more than just a client.
We are extremely sorry to hear of his passing. Our thoughts are with the family.
My sincere condolences to Harald’s family — he was a wonderful man. We worked together over a decade, including through my apprenticeship as a printer at the Vernon Daily News. His kindness is remembered to this day as I still use the small gift of a copy holder he gave me as I left Vernon to go to university nearly forty years ago. He’d attached the printers’ symbol –30– signifying the end of a story.
