Obituary of Harvey Albert Nelson Price

PRICE, Harvey Albert Nelson – (Oct 13, 1930-May 11, 2019) It is with great sadness we announce the passing of a great man, passionate and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, son, uncle, great-uncle, friend. Harvey loved life and felt 88 years was just too short.

Harvey was born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario.  He was an entrepreneur, who enjoyed every career he chose, from a soldier in the Algonquin Regiment, factory worker Dominion Tire, owning a taxi in Waterloo Taxi Company, owner of Family Submarine, first manager of Zehr’s Markets restaurant, security for Waterloo County Board of Education, (for which he was awarded a citizens award while helping WRPS apprehend a suspect), but his true career of choice and recognition was Police Constable with the Ontario Provincial Police. In his younger years, Harvey enjoyed coaching his sons hockey and baseball teams, as well as being a Boy Scout Leader. Harvey was a proud member and Past Master of Cambridge Lodge # 728 A.F.&A.M. the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 530 and was a member of the Church of St. John the Evangelist (Anglican).

Allan.  Harvey will also be missed by his 6 grandchildren, Michelle (Real Picard), Sean (Paige Kearns), Belinda, Jaime (Mark Ward), Jessica, and Rebecca (Kraig Tardif).  Harvey was also the extremely proud great-grandpa of 15 great-grandchildren, Luca, Paisley, William, Jedd, Samantha, Sean, Tyson, Makayla, Carter, Nolan, Lilly, Clara, Ethan, Kallan, and Maelle.
