Harvey Thomson Obituary
Harvey’s journey began with his birth in a small hospital in Rapid City, Manitoba. Harvey spent his childhood in Onanole, Manitoba until the age of 17 when Harvey and his family made their way west to Vancouver Island (Victoria). Soon after moving to Victoria, Harvey met his bride June and started a family. Harvey had a long career in construction. He started Victoria Drywall and Stucco in the seventies, and subsequently his son Colin joined the company. Colin would like to thank all the people they worked with, there were many friendships and strong working relationships created over the years, which is a testament to how Harvey approached people and business.
Harvey enjoyed life to the fullest and had no regrets. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, camping, curling, baseball, hockey, golfing, gardening, and cheering his grandchildren on in their various sports. We will miss his sense of humour and his zest for life. He touched many people, including his amazing group of friends and extended family.
Go Canucks!
Celebration of life will be held Tuesday November 26th 3:00 to 7:00 @ Trafalgar pro Patria 292 – Royal Canadian Legion – 411 Gorge Road E, Victoria BC. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the BC Cancer Foundation.
