This was attended by two of his daughters Julie Baker and Sandra Allan and one of his grandchildren Jason Baker, as well as many friends from his decades living in Yarrawonga.

Harold was born in Murchison Victoria on October 15, 1921, where he later worked in many areas of the workforce including in a general store, post office, as a member of the Air Force, Water Bailiffs and Reservoir keeper.

Throughout his life Harold was married twice and has five stepchildren. In 1979 he decided to make the move to Yarrawonga before leaving in 1990 and later returning in 1995.

Harold is a well-known and very popular local identity who has been a member of the Yarrawonga/Mulwala RSL for over 50 years which is why it was with great pleasure that Gavin, Barry and John attended on behalf of the Yarrawonga/ Mulwala RSL.

The balloons were provided by Yarrawonga News and Gifts, and the delicious cake was a gift from Lauren and Dean of the Lake Mulwala Bakery which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
