EDWARD B. HARVEY

Edward "Ted" Franklin Burns Harvey was born October 2, 1937, in Victoria, BC. He was the youngest child of Richard and Esther Harvey. After declining health, he died of pneumonia on March 16, 2025, in Toronto General Hospital with Lorna and his great-niece, Leeza, by his side. After school, he both worked and attended Victoria College (now the University of Victoria) studying classics and writing short stories for local literary magazines. At a Christmas party in 1960, he met Lorna (Bosher) Marsden, and they were married in 1962 in England. They returned to UBC and Ted had the great good fortune to study with Professor Kasper Naegele, who greatly influenced his life and work in sociology. Professor Martin Meissner introduced him to the study of labour markets. Naegele employed him as a research assistant and directed him into the doctoral program at Princeton, where he completed his doctorate under Professor Wilbert Moore and went on to a great career in the field. Naegele's early death in 1965 was a loss of great significance affecting his life. In 1967, Ted was hired at the OISE with a cross appointment in sociology at the University of Toronto where he stayed until retirement. He published prolifically, books and articles in his fields. His book on education systems and the labour market led to international work and eventually into consulting that continued until shortly before his death. Ted served on many commissions and large research projects with colleagues. He greatly enjoyed working with students, some of whom became colleagues or employees, and with clients of many kinds. He read deeply, especially in the history of WWII during which his eldest brother had been killed and his other brother fought overseas. In addition, he was seriously interested in Canadian artists, collecting their work; in international travel with Lorna and for work; and he created a beautiful home for them in Toronto. It was a marriage of love and respect, and he supported Lorna at every stage of her life. He supported and encouraged many others. With his dry wit and commitment to high standards in all his undertakings, he enjoyed deep friendships, some throughout his life. He will be missed by many, including his niece, Barb, his friends around the world and many in Lorna's family. His funeral will be at Holy Trinity Church, Sidney, BC, in late spring, where we will join his grave with those of other family members. In April, Toronto friends and colleagues will be invited to Lorna's new home to remember and celebrate his life. In his memory, support and encourage students at all stages.
