Not sure what to say?

Aunt Kathleen, Jane, Pauline (& Andrew), Chloe, Haley & Avery:
I think I'm still in shock that Uncle Dick went so fast. I'm sorry he had so much pain. Had planned to visit in June. Glad I was able to talk to him & Kathleen in April. My parents (Dan & Lota) lived with my grandparents & 2 bratty young uncles, Dick (11) & Jimmy (15)when they married. We lived with them until my Dad built a house on E. 37th Ave. At 7 months, my first words were "Bad Dick!" Dick was just part of growing up. He...

Uncle Dick, thanks for being there to pick me up. My memories of you will stay with me, but they will not be forgotten. Both you and your sister, Ruth, reminded me of my grandfather and kept his memory alive, long after he was taken too soon by cancer. Time shutters by in blinks of eyes - I did not expect you to go so soon, but who ever does? I fear with family spread so far apart, I rarely get to visit them - but I thank you for being part of my family.
Good night,

To Kathleen, Jane, Pauline & Family,
I was saddened to hear of Dick's passing. He was the most dedicated worker and family man that I have known. We will always remember his kindness and sense of humour.

My very deep condolences to all the family of 'Uncle Dick'. I have very fond memories of Dick, as a kid visiting the Harvey's in Qualicum with my Mom, Dad, and brother and sister. I remember Uncle Dick allowing us to throw fish food to the salmon fry which were in holding tanks, when he was at the Qualicum hatchery. We would all head up to their cabin on Horn Lake, swimming and boating with Jane and Pauline. All vivid happy memories. My Dad Gerry, an old fishing chum of Dick's, thought very...

Please except our deepest sympathies.

Our thoughts are with you all. Memories stay with us forever. Live, Love and remember.

Jane, Pauline and Mrs. Harvey - I'm sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I remember all the times up at the hatchery when he would show me the spawning channels and talk about the salmons' life cycle, and the times he helped me out when I brought school groups on field trips there. My main interest is photography, and I know I was inspired by the photographs I saw of your dad's. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Memories of Dick Harvey

Growing up and going to school in Vancouver, attending John Oliver and Sir Alexander Mackenzie.
The great times spent learning to skate at the Forum, all in vain.
You were a good bugler in the Sea Cadets, playing a mean Drunkard Sailor.
You always lent a hand to your Dad and Mom in the meat and poultry business.
Going to Swifts Meats on Water Street and then looking at all the ships in the harbour.
The trips to New Westminster in your Dad’s...
