Harvey, Earl Gordon – Age 84, Belmont. It is with broken hearts we announce the death of Earl Harvey – husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and brother. He was born on July 5, 1937 in Hilden to the late John and Ruth (Blades) Harvey. Earl put up a brave battle against cancer, but sadly lost the fight on Wednesday, December 1, 2021 at home, with his loving wife and his family by his side.
Earl was a well-known carpenter in the Truro and surrounding areas. He was a proud member of the Debert Legion, Branch 106. He held many of the executive positions often repeating many terms. He also organized many of the sport activities there. Earl was an avid card player, dart shooter, gardener and loved preparing preserves in the fall of the year.
He is survived by his wife, Leona (MacDonald); children, Robert, Erlene Dereniowski (Rick), Wendy Bowers (Pat), Doug, Patti Bowers (Darryl); grandchildren, whom he dearly loved, Lyndsay (Caldon), Adrian (Shauna), Megan (Michael), Andrew, Brandon, Kaitlyn, Ali (Jordan), Emily, Brandy (Shane), Denny (Ashley) and Yves; his great grandchildren, CJ, Lyndon, Charlotte, Olivia, Grace, Kai, Noah and Archer; sisters, Heather (Graham) Paris and Sharan Price; brother, Donald Harvey along with his very large extended family.
