The passing of my brother Harvey has been a great lost to all of the family. He most certainly was a warrior, as he fought a long, hard fight. Our hearts are heavy at this time , but Harvey’s soul has gone on to a new journey, and we are left with wonderful, fond memories.
Bonnie and I pass on our heartfelt sympathies at this time. We are sorry for your loss and wish you and your family our condolences.
Our condolences to my sister-in-law Jackie and Family. Jackie gave Harvey those extra years with her love and devotion to his care. Harvey in turn gave back the love and appreciation to his beloved Jackie. Only those who have been caregivers can recognize the magnitude of the strength and energy it takes to care for someone. Many times I witnessed the fatigue that Jackie was experiencing but she never faltered. The blessing is that Harvey recognized her devotion and demonstrated his love in the ways that he could. He was a wonderful husband and family man. May he rest in peace knowing he gave to the world his very best in life.
My sincere condolence to Bernie, Jackie, and all of Harvey’s family upon his passing. Be assured he’s with God and waiting for all his loved ones.

Our condolences to Jackie and family… it’s been great getting to know you both this last three yrs… he’s going to be missed by many… if you need anything just let us know anytime… plz pop by every so often to visit us in the unit…
My thoughts and prayers to Jackie and family. Harvey loved to tease and I’m going to miss his smiling face when I go to work in Dialysis (once in awhile) as Harvey liked to point out to me. We will all remember him fondly. Thinking of you, Moe
We were so saddened to hear that Harvey passed away. I remember the beautiful speech Harvey gave welcoming my son Brian into the Roy family at Brian and Michelle’s wedding. That was the only day I had the chance to meet Harvey but his words made such a positive impact on me I knew Brian was entering an awesome family. My husband and I send our heartfelt condolences and prayers to you Jackie and your entire family. Love to you all. Vicki Robb
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jackie and the Roy family. Sandy and I had hoped to attend the Memorial Cup in Regina but my hip replacement in April prevented that trip and the opportunity to hopefully see you in Moose Jaw. Every time we go into a Dairy Queen brings back memories of the time you lived in Kamloops. Be well. Craig and Sandy Cook.
So sorry for your loss Bernie. My condolences to you and your family
