It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Harold Keith Henwood, 93 years, of Springhill.  Affectionately  known as "Mr. Hensh*t".  Harold passed peacefully away on Thursday, May 27, 2021 in East Cumberland Lodge, Pugwash.  

Born in Springhill Junction,  he was a son of the late Thomas and Ethel (Graham) Henwood.

At an early age, Harold began working on a farm until he was 16, after which he began working at the Springhill Mines doing repairs in the locomotive shop.  Harold was working above ground during the 1956 and 1958 disasters.  After the mines, he opened and operated his own automotive repair shop in his back yard which he operated until his retirement 30 years later.  Being in good health, he took great pride in keeping his property, including a vegetable garden, neat and tidy.  Harold's favourite pastime was fishing throughout Nova Scotia and Newfoundland with his buddies.  He looked forward to a good game of cards, especially when playing with Dale and Paulette.

He will be sadly missed by his wife,  the former Bessie Canning; daughters, Evelyn (David) Gallagher, Deborah (Hollis) Park and Susan (Kenneth) MacKenzie; sisters, Muriel Brine, Christina Summers, and Olive Holland; seven grandchildren, Kirk (Barb) Gallagher, Ted Gallagher, Stephenie Park, Shelley Park, Freddy Park, Nick (Rylie) Kendrick and Ben Kendrick, ten great grandchildren; several nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by brothers, Victor, Ralph and Cyril.
