William Robert Harnum
HARNUM, William Robert It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved family member, Robert Harnum, who passed away at his residence at the age of 78. Predeceased by his parents, Ralph and Nora Harnum and his beloved sister, Elizabeth (Betty) Williams. Left with cherished memories are his two nieces, Janice (Justin) Temple and Sharon (Cory) Coffin, brother-in-law, Wilfred Williams, as well as his two special great nieces, Nora and Kennedy, whom were his pride and joy and loved their “Uncle Bob.” Also left with cherished memories are a circle of other close friends and extended family.
Robert enjoyed and valued the simple pleasures life had to offer. Whether he was taking his special pup, Shadow (who he surely picked up at the Rainbow Bridge on his way home to Heaven) for an ice cream, taking his family to the Trinity Conception Bay Square for a run, enjoying a trip out in boat, or enjoying a visit and a BBQ with his family he embraced all these simple, precious moments. Robert dedicated his heart to his family and his home and chose to remain living in his family home the duration of his life until his final hours.
While our hearts grieve this profound loss we honor and cherish the memories that will continue to flourish in the hearts of those who had the privilege to receive the special gifts of love he unconditionally offered. His legacy will always be a testament of the love he unwavering provided. Robert was a private, simplistic man with a heart of gold who loved his family beyond measure. He was a man who did not travel far yet reached so many & taught us the most valuable lesson- that the only true currency in life of fundamental and eternal value is love & that the “little things” truly are the “big things.” We thank you Robert for all the “little”, “big” things. They are priceless and have blessed our hearts with a little more gold.
Cremation has taken place. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 and public health restrictions, celebration of life will take place at the Anglican Church, Dildo on Saturday, May 15, 2021 by invitation only.
“There is only one happiness in this life- to love and be loved.” While your life here on earth has ended the love you shared will always remain. Thank you for the gift of your love. We will treasure it always.
BUTT, Maurice Leonard.

Donald Keith Williams
Williams, Donald Keith, July 17, 1963 – January 13, 2021. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a man who was loved by so many. Keith was a man who thoroughly enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. When the work week was finished, you’d be sure to find him at his camper with his favourite little dog Kaley. There he would always welcome family and friends with a smile and a cold beer. He would never miss an opportunity to get out on the water with his brother Jimbob.
George Karl Gosse
GOSSE, George Karl. It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we, his family, announce the passing of a great husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, George Karl Gosse of Whitbourne, age 85.
Karl is predeceased by his parents Arthur and Mahala (nee Noseworthy), siblings; Edward (Bella), Harry (Dulcie), Gwen (Herb), Pearl (Aubrey), Jean (Ned), Mable, Robin, Frank, and Max, daughter Fay and daughter-in-law Jackie.
Leaving to mourn, his wife and life partner Gladys (Nee Clarke), his children Carl (Betty), Bella (Bill), Susan (Glen), Marie (Ernie), Mike (Linda) Calvin (Bev), Meloney (Ed). Siblings Sylvia (Fred), Phyllis (John), Rita, Whilemena, Eileen, and Gerald. 18 beloved Grandchildren and their spouses, 25 Great-grandchildren, plus a huge circle of extended family and friends.
Karl was an icon in the community where he was born, raised and for most of his life, worked.
He was known for his “never give up” attitude, his generosity, loving heart, stories (and he had many), and his hardworking nature! Not too many families went without heat in the winter if Karl Gosse had a stick of wood. His door was always open and the kettle on. He always knew the best fishing spots, and if he wasn’t in the woods he was “up da pond in da boat”; that was his happy place. Many a parties and card games were held at the house and it was well known that the man could party! He was a jack of all trades and no one wore that hat better. There wasn’t too many times we’ve heard him say “no, I cant”; when he lost his legs that personal mantra never changed. There was work to be done and well, he always found a way to get it done. He was known for his “colorful discussions”, which often lead to some heated tempers; and when the other party was about to explode in frustration he would look at one of us with a wink and a smile and say “I just wanted to get them goin!”
If a stranger happened to overhear how many kids called the man “pop or dad” they would have to laugh and say “he was one busy man”. That is how the majority of people who walked in the door addressed him; which speaks to his loving heart, welcoming nature and his ever increasing extended family!
Now its time to rest, your job is done. We will take it from here, you taught us well. Forgive us if we have to wipe a tear away, we’re not crying for you, we are crying for our loss. Rest easy… until we meet again. Cremation has taken place and entrusted to Holloway’s Funeral Home. Service will be on Monday 11 January from 2-6 pm. Please stay safe and abide by covid-19 restrictions. No flowers by request. Donations may be may to the George Karl Gosse Memorial Fund.
