HARRISON It is with heavy hearts that the family of Sidney Wade Harrison wish to announce his passing on February 13, 2019 in Kauai, in the sunshine, listening to the Beatles. Sid is predeceased by his Mother (Bertha), his father (Hugh), brother-in-law Kurt Holst, and sister-in-law Jean Harrison. He is survived by his best friend and wife Maggie, children Morgan (Jen), Mel (Jana), Sarah (Michael), Connor, Evan; his grandchildren Aubrey, Blake, Owen, Nora, Ethan, Evelyn; his siblings Penny Holst, Gary, Wayne (Brenda), and sister-in-law Tricia Leidal (Brad). Sid was born and raised in Medicine Hat, the youngest child of Bertha and Hugh. He and Maggie built a life together after they met in 1974. They married in 1979 and grew their family when they had Morgan and Sarah. In 1984, at age 31 with two children, Sid decided to return to school to become a physician. He attended the Medicine Hat College, then medical school at the University of Alberta and Family Medicine Residency in Edmonton. Sid and family moved back to Medicine Hat in 1992 to start his independent family practice. Sid and Maggie welcomed Connor, and then Evan in the years to follow. Sid built a huge and fulfilling family practice, that defined his life over the next 26 years. He delivered hundreds of babies, and was a true family doctor. In 1999, Mel moved in to complete the Harrison brood. With birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs it was a busy and wonderful home. Sid loved travel, wine, golf, food, fast cars and most of all family. Thanks cannot express the gratitude Sid and his family felt towards the many compassionate nurses, pharmacists and physicians who helped care for him. In particular, Dr. Tom Mohanraj, Dr. Josh Foley and Dr. Soundouss Raissouni, moved gracefully from colleagues to caregiver; Sid appreciated their support in these difficult months.
