He was predeceased by his wife Phyllis Laurine Hagen, three brothers; Howard, Ronald and Lorne and his only daughter Jacqueline.

Harvey worked in the Coal Mining Industry for most of his career retiring in 1985 as Manager of Manalta Coals "Klimax" mine in Estevan. He married Clara (Nelubowich) Symons in 1996 and they enjoyed many happy years together in Chase, Nanaimo, Medicine Hat and Chilliwack. Clare passed away recently. Harvey served his country in WWII in England and Continental Europe with the South Saskatchewan Regiment and later the Tank Corps. He was a long standing member of the Legion and Masonic Lodge.
