He was predeceased by the love of his life and wife of 59 years, Mary Jane (Connolly) and by his grandson, Ryan Harvey. He was the son of James W. and Ethel (Rivers).

After graduating from Harvard University, he and Mary Jane settled in Sudbury, and raised four sons. Dave managed his own firm, Harvey Associates, specializing in office furniture, while also finding time to coach and attend countless youth baseball and hockey teams. He was an avid golfer and devoted Boston sports fan.

Dave is survived by his son David, Jr. and wife Peggy of Concord, son William and wife Susan of Matthews, NC, son Christopher and wife Eileen of Medway, and son Eric of Waltham. He was a cherished grandfather to Sarah, Elizabeth, James, Thomas, Benjamin, and Andrew.

I was so blessed to be one of Dave's nurses for the last
2 1/2 years! He made us smile everyday. I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. Tonight as I got into my car to head home after we were remembering him, you will never guess the song that came on my radio...Uptown Funk!
