Premier Brian Tobin offered condolences to the
family of the late the Hon. E. John A. Harnum, who died in St.
John's today. Mr Harnum served as the Lieutenant-Governor of
Newfoundland and Labrador from 1969 to 1974.
"John Harnum served the people of this province with
great dignity both in his private life and as
lieutenant-governor. He was a prominent member of the business
community for over 50 years and he was also very active in a
number of service and charitable organizations including St. John
Ambulance and the Newfoundland Board of Insurance Underwriters.
"On behalf of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, I
extend deepest sympathies to Mr. Harnum's family. Newfoundlanders
and Labradorians join with you in mourning his loss. We will
remember his strength and the contribution he made to many
aspects of life in our province."
