Harvey passed away peacefully with his family by his side on May 9, 2024, at the age of 85 years.  He was born on the family farm at Midnight Lake, SK on November 7, 1938. Harvey is survived by his daughter Theresa, granddaughters Melissa (Kyle), great grandchildren Caleb, Ali and Lennox; and Brittany (Bruce), great grandchildren Lucas and Ivy; son David (Megan), grandsons Brett, Grayson and Owen; his sister Audrey and her family; and his late wife Marion’s family. Harvey was predeceased by his wife Marion, parents George and Ivy, brother David, in-laws Mike and Clara, grandson Bret and numerous other relatives.

Harvey started working for Sasktel after his high school graduation and worked for 32 years at which time he retired. Upon retiring from Sasktel, he returned to full time farming until he fully retired in 2008. He was a volunteer fire fighter for North Battleford for 17 years and volunteered for many organizations including Cancer Society, Telephone Pioneers of America, Meals on Wheels, North Battleford Legion, Glaslyn Museum, WDM and many more.  Harvey enjoyed going to all of his grandchildren/great grandchildren’s activities whether it was hockey, baseball or dance.  He always enjoyed travelling and went on numerous trips all around the world.  Harvey was a loving and hardworking man who was willing to do whatever was asked of him whether it was for a friend or family member.

Harvey had the following written in his office:

A Grandfather is a little bit parent, a little bit teacher and a little bit friend.

My Mother said “Don’t worry about what people think now. Think about whether your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will think you have done well.” A child, grandchild, great-grandchild laughter is the greatest medicine.

His family would like to thank all of the staff at BUH that treated Harvey with the utmost care and respect.
