On Sunday, July 17th, 2016 Harry Wade, passed away at the age of 88 years.  Harry will be forever remembered by the Canadian basketball community.

"Harry was special - a 6'5" power forward who helped bring national, and international, fame to Tillsonburg ON while playing for the National Champions Tillsonburg Livvies." Said former friend and teammate, Paul Thomas.

Harry won multiple titles and tournaments in his basketball career. He also represented Canada at the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki. He was a key player and finished the tournament as the Canadian Men's leading scorer. He was inducted into the University of Western Ontario's Hall of Fame in 1985 and will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.
