HARRY ZORA
1928 - 2007

Mr. Harry Zora, beloved husband of Mrs. June Zora of Medicine Hat, passed away at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital on Wednesday, February 7, 2007 at the age of 78 years.
Harry was born on the family farm (Victoria Plains) near Zehner, Sask. , one of nine children born to Mike and Annie Zora. He was raised on the farm where he learned at a young age the value of a hard day's work. This work ethic continued all his life in various applications. In his earlier years he was an outdoorsman who liked to go hunting and fishing. Harry enjoyed nature and all the animals and birds that caught his attention. He also had quite the green thumb as a gardener and was known for his tomatoes and pickles. A man that could grow a garden could also cook what he grew. His family thinks they duplicated his cabbage roll recipe but Harry never revealed his secret ingredients! His wonderful sense of humor was a part of his personality that instantly attracted people to him...and all that met him, liked him. As a devoted family man - husband, father and best friend to his children and grandfather, his memory will be greatly cherished by his wife, June; his children and grandchildren, Greg (Lisa) and their family Madison, McKayla and Dillan; Randy and his daughter Ariel and her mother, Kelly; and David (Donna) and their children Alyssa and Ashley; a sister, Aurora Watson and a brother, Lorne Zora; a special cousin, Lee Donison as well as numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives. He was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Annie Zora and sisters, Virginia, Victoria, Margaret, Effie, Flora and a brother Nick.
Family spent a quiet time of reflection with Harry prior to cremation. A Celebration of Harry's life will take place at a later date and will be announced at that time.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Harry's name may be made directly to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, 124, 430 - 6th Ave. S.E. Medicine Hat, Alberta, T1A 2S8 or to the Children's Wish Foundation, P.O. Box 1148, Medicine Hat, Alberta T1A 7H3.
