In Memoriam

Harvey Keith McEWEN

McEWEN, Harvey Keith August 24, 1935 - November 15, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Harvey McEwen at the Hospice centre in Peace Arch Hospital after a valiant fight with cancer. He was survived by his wife Elizabeth (Betty) McEwen, his daughter Margot (Cameron) Murray, his son Brett (Sherrie) McEwen, and his step children Brian O'Keefe, Gary O'Keefe and Yvonne Blankstein. He also leaves behind 9 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. Harvey will be remembered for his many years of work in the food brokerage industry, however Harvey will be remembered most for his 6 decades involved in every facet of the classic car hobby. From appraiser to author, Harvey has owned and restored beauties such as a 1930 Packard 745 Phaeton, a 1944 sportsman woody convertible and his favourite a 1929 Packard Larkins convertible sedan and with great joy Harvey was inducted into the Greater Vancouver Motorsport Pioneers Society Hall of Fame October 2011. We will miss his great sense of humor, his engaging and heart warming story telling as well as his endless generosity. Harvey we love you and as you always said It's been a great ride!. Memorial service to be held at St. Mark's Ocean Park Anglican church, 12953 20th Ave., Surrey, B.C. Monday, December 5 at 2pm. Donations can be made to the Hospice Society Peace Arch Hospital.
