Condolences
Just a few minutes ago we learned of Harvey’s passing from Nephew Brian Eiriksson. Memories of Harvey go back to his stay at Winnipegosis when he was a student minister at the United Church there. Harvey was a kind, sociable person and our sympathy goes out to Jean and Family for their loss.

Dear Jean., I have memories of kindness shown me by Harvey and you when I was on tour in your area. Be assured of my prayers for all of you.
with much love, Catherine
Condolences from a former Normal School member of the 1945-46 class in Winnipeg, MB. Harvey was a dignified, gentlemanly type and we all respected him. My thanks to Peggy McCormick (nee Karlowsky) for notifying me. Sorry about the news. Anne Yanchyshyn
Dearest Jean, Ailsa, Darren & Duncan: my sincerest condolences on Harvey’s passing. Death is always hardest on those left behind, especially when we know he’s now in the Abha kingdom. We are the ones who cope with missing our loved ones. My prayers are with you all.
So sorry for your loss Hedley Family. Cherish every moment. It is a special time to connect and hear stories. There is so much we miss as family members that others hold tight to their hearts.
Sending love, prayers and ((hugs)) your way.
Sincerely, Deanna
Dearest Jean and Family,
What a wonderful and helpful friend Harvey was! Few had such a full vision of the unity of the Cause of God and acted on it. He made a deep impression on my youngest son, Russell, who would sneak out of Baha’i classes at Sylvan Lake and run off to his trailer (bookmobile) to study and talk. The only teacher he wanted was Mr. Hed-el-lee, as he called him. Russell passed away when he was only 20 years old, and I know he is one happy guy right now because Mr. Hed-el-lee has arrived. Our loss is heaven’s gain. May his powers increase and his strong and kindly spirit keep you warm. Prayers and much love to you all.
Dear Hedley family,
It is a privilege and an honour to accompany you even in this small way on this last journey of the soul. I did not know Edgar, except through you, his children, Ailsa, Duncan and Darren. I have known your gentleness and compassion, your concern for the well-being of people of every stripe, and your striving for excellence in arts as well as sports. You are well rounded global citizens, and through these traits in you, I have known your father. I pray you may find the strength of spirit in this time of loss to celebrate the victories of this life. He has surely passed on to new opportunities of service.
With love and prayers,
Céline Poirier
My dear friend Jean and your precious family,
My sincerest prayers go out to you and your family and also for the progress of Harv’s precious soul. I have many fond memories of Harvey during the times we were at Sylvan Lake together. His gentle spirit touched many lives. May your family be comforted in the knowledge that so many people are sending you love and prayers at this time.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this hard time.
Dearest Jean and Family,
Cannot think of you and Harvey – and it’s always you both together – without a smile as it is always happy memories, joyous laughter and being welcomed with warmth and love to your home that comes to mind from so many years ago when we were living in Alberta. One cannot express the feelings of happiness and appreciation for the generosity of giving that Harvey and you so well exampled! May he be immersed in light and joy, and may you and your dear family be consoled by your memories of a beloved consort and father who truly served and loved you, allowing others to also benefit from a fountain that overflowed.
Jean and family,
We wish you contentment and solace as you remember Harv/Dad/Grandad for years to come.
Be strengthened by memories of the warm acceptance he showed to others wherever he went.
Sincere condolences,
Rita and Terry Storch
Dear Jean, Darren and family, we all lost a great friend and companion, pray for his soul to continuously progress the worlds of God.
Jean and Family;
Love and prayers to all of you at this time of Harv’s passing…
It is so easy to remember the first time we met in Winnipeg – how happy we all were to welcome you as new believers! Then after some years – hellos again and good-byes again at the many functions in the Alberta community where we greeted one another.
Now certainly such very happy and joyous greeting will be amplified as Harv meets those in the next life in a most loving welcome. As is so clearly indicated by Baha’u’llah in the Hidden Words “O SON OF SPIRIT! With the joyful tidings of light I hail thee: rejoice! To the court of holiness I summon thee; abide therein that thou mayest live in peace for evermore”.
Dear Jean, the Drumheller Baha’i Community sends it’s sincere condolences to you and your family on the death of your beloved husband and father and grandfather. Our prayers are with you all and we will pray for the progression of Harvey’s soul through all the worlds of God.
My memories of Harv are that of a kind, loving, gentle man with a twinkle in his eye. I will hold that memory of him in my heart.
Sending my love to the family. Stay close and hug each other.

To Jean and Families
As Harvey’s spirit continues it’s journey in the Abha Kingdom may precious memories sustain you and bring you peace. I had the pleasure of Harvey’s company at my home many years ago where were we had a wonderful visit talking about the Faith and our love of church music.

Ailsa and family.
My heartfelt condolences go out to you, your mom and your brothers at this time. May you find comfort and peace in each other and know that he is with long lost loved ones, until you meet again.
Love Always;

Dearest Ailsa and your cherished family.
Please know my love and prayers are with you. Your father now can watch each one of you from the blessed ‘Abhá Kingdom. It hurts to no longer have the physical future with our Dads and it helps us to cherish what they have taught us in our past, those gems of love that will continue to build our future. There is not a day that goes by that my Dad is present in some form of another: whispered prayer, a voice, a walk, a saying, a bird, his gesture manifested in family. Some days catch you unawares but they too honour our connections. I love & think of our BWC time together. Linda.
Dearest Jean and Family:
Loving greetings Jean to you and all your family. We were sorry to hear of the passing of Harvey. He was such a sweet soul; I always hold him close to my heart and remember often
his kind and supportive spirit. The many events in Alberta, some at your home, and my visit to Ireland when you were both serving there are alive in my memory. There can be no doubt that all the Friends who knew him such as Angus and who are also in the next world will be taking great delight in welcoming him to the Kingdom on High. With Love and Affection, Don and Barbara Rogers.
A great man to be remembered. Condolences to your family.
On behalf of the entire Nablo clan, and ‘all our relations’, we wish Godspeed to Harvey on his journey, and full hearts to the family as they send him on his way with all the love and prayers possible. There is no real separation of spirits, but I realized, when my mother passed away in August of 2012, that despite the sure comfort of knowing the soul has entered a glorious place, those in the ‘other side camp’ are sorely missed nonetheless. Peace and blessings, love and prayers.
Harvey ‘s smile began in his eyes. His actions started from his heart. He always made time for this young couple when we dropped by for a visit.
It seems he spent his whole life searching for the Truth.
Our thoughts are with you, Jean and family at this time of your loss. Your sharing of thoughts, feelings and memories of Harvey on facebook has been very touching. He will be missed by everyone he came in contact with.
Sending our love and thoughts and prayers from Violet Nolan, my Mother, and my family to yours.
