He worked as a security guard until he got sick 3 and half years ago. Left to mourn his passing are: his close friend, Claudette Friesen; parents, two brothers, Gerald and his family and Allan (Chris) and his family; 4 nephews, one niece and numerous friends and relatives. A Celebration of Harvey’s Life will be held on Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. at Rosthern Mennonite Church with Pastor Craig Neufeld officiating. Arrangements are in care of Funk’s Funeral Home, Rosthern, SK.
Harvey was a good friend besides being a close cousin. We did not see each other often but when we did we were so glad to see each other and picked up the conversation as though we saw each other all the time. My thoughts are with Uncle Henry and Aunt Helen, Claudette, Gerald and Allan and their families as you grieve. Harvey was special to me and I am a better person because I have known him and I will always carry a special place in my heart for him. With love to all, Pat Maendel
