I knew him as Mac Harlow so many years ago, as
director of Pinehurst Camp, which was sponsored
by MREC at New Germany, N.S. I attended the camp
for three years, 1952-54. In the first year, Rev.
Whitney Dalrymple (of Bridgetown, my home town,
and church) was director with Mac as his deputy.
In the next two years, Mac was the director.Sadly,
Whitney passed away a few years ago, after a most
successful stint as a missionary in Angola and
Zambia.
I admired both these men from my childhood so
strongly. In my teaching career, I am sure it is
men like them I sought to emulate in my concern
for the individuals in each classroom in which I
taught. Mac, in particular, was a gentle, strong
person, who exuded such kindness and charity. I am
sure I still have a photo of him standing so
casually in the door of a Pinehurst building, with
that wonderful smile on his face.
I extend my deepest feelings of sympathy to
members of his family at this sad time. You
will surely miss him, but his example and memory
will be with you always.

brought a great energy to our gathering. My mother was
very fond of him also

Joy and I were deeply saddened to read in today’s paper of the death of Dr. Malcolm Harlow. We are sure that there are no words that will ease your pain just now. The death of a companion, father, grandfather, and friend is always painful, especially one such as Malcolm, who will always be remembered as a devoted Christian family man, minister, and friend – one who brought so much joy. Please accept our sympathy for your loss. Morley & Joy

Dear Kay:
We want to take this opportunity to express to you and your family our sincere sympathy in the passing of Malcolm, a dear friend and neighbour of ours during his youth while living on Poplar Street. Many of West End’s older members remember Malcolm and the Harlow family fondly. They were much appreciated for their leadership, Malcolm with the youth and his father as a Deacon and Church treasurer for many years. It is our prayer that the God whom her served so faithfully will continue to bless you and surround you with His love. Sincerely, Roy & Dorothy Brunt, 6664 First Street, Halifax, NS B3L 1E4

My sister Donna Spicer and I wish to extend our sincere condolences at the passing of Dr. Harlow.
Our Grandmother, Rose MacDonald ( nee Mann) was a sister of Viola Hutchinson ( nee Mann).
We in Halifax were saddened to hear of this.
Heather and I were saddened to read about Dr. Harlow’s passing. Dr. Harlow married Heather and I on August 25, 1990. Being a Catholic and Heather a baptist, Malcolm was gracious, helpful and supportive in overcoming any obstacle leading to our wedding. Malcolm lived a true Christian life; his assistance, his support and his example have had a lasting impact on our lives. The World is a little poorer with Malcolm’s passing but Malcolm’s teaching, inspiration and example of a life well lived will live on in every person he touched during his exemplary life.
I was very sorry to read of Malcolm’s passing and wanted to send my deepest sympathies to his family. I grew up with Malcolm and remember him fondly.
