Harvey died peacefully on Wednesday from complications arising from heart surgery.
Survived by his wife of 62 years, Mathilda (Tillie) née Friesen, and his children, Lauren Murphy (Chong Pelot) of Ottawa, Cheryl Armstrong (Andy) of Barbados, Jocelyn Richard (Bruce) of Keswick, and Richard Murphy (Louise) of Waterloo.
Missed by his nine grandchildren: Sheila (Robert Begin) and Rachel Herrndorf, Matthew (Stephanie), Louise (Ryan Roach) and Michael Armstrong, Katherine (Clark Teeple) and Jack Richard, and Jocelyn and Kieran Murphy.
He was the brother of the late Barbara Murphy, Jack (late Eleanor) Murphy, Warner (Joan) Murphy, Doreen (Paul) Sabourin, Barry (Marilyn) Murphy, and Dawn Murphy who remember his bad puns and sports rivalry.
Harvey was a devoted husband, loving father, jovial brother, grandfather extraordinaire, tireless storyteller, music lover, avid sports fan, and faithful minister of God.
He was a United Church Minister for 35 years, serving in Empress, AB, Prince Albert, SK, Owen Sound, ON, and Niagara Falls, ON, before his retirement in 1996. Upon retirement, he and Tillie served at St. Luke’s United in Cambridge, ON and were also part of the St. James-Rosemount United family in Kitchener, ON. He was a powerful preacher, dedicated minister and selfless servant of God.
Harvey loved to be outdoors, fishing, walking, golfing, or tending his roses. It is expected that he is now happily conducting the angel choirs in heaven.
