The Harvey family
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
June 14, 1939 – September 29, 2025
William “Bill” Harvey passed away peacefully on September 29, 2025, at the age of 86, surrounded by his loving family. Born on June 14, 1939, Bill lived a full and vibrant life rooted in family, laughter, and a deep love for the outdoors.
Bill was the devoted husband of Lou Harvey for 66 wonderful years. Together they built a legacy of love, raising four children: Bob Harvey (Rosanne), Pauline Harvey, Ron Harvey (Christine), and Suzanne Waldron (Bruce). He was a proud grandfather to ten grandchildren—Jeff Harvey, Melanie Heald (Chris), Stephanie Harvey (Craig), Shawn Harvey (Sarah), Kevin Harvey, Sabrina Rossen (Pete), Jennifer Simard (Steph), Maegan Hamelin (Luc), Sabrina Tremblay (Steph), and predeceased Christopher Waldron. He was also a joyful great-grandfather to sixteen great-grandchildren, who brought him endless happiness in his later years.
Bill was predeceased by his parents William and Hélène Harvey, two baby sisters and four brothers: Iréne Harvey, Hélène Harvey, Aurel Harvey, Léo Harvey, Roger Harvey, and Gerry Harvey. He deeply valued his family and carried the memory of his siblings with him throughout his life.
A truck driver for many years, Bill was known for his strong work ethic and quiet generosity. Outside of work, he was truly in his element. Whether hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, boating, or simply spending time outdoors, Bill’s appreciation for nature was infectious. He had a talent for making his own fishing lures and loved sharing his tips and stories with anyone who would listen. His sense of humor and warm personality made him the heart of many family gatherings.
Family meant everything to Bill. He was the kind of man who always made time for those he loved—quick with a joke, a story, or a helping hand. He will also be dearly missed by his lifelong hunting and fishing buddies, who shared many early mornings, quiet camps, and tall tales by the fire.
Bill will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
A celebration of life will be held with the family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Bill’s memory.
