Peacefully, at LHSC University Hospital, on Friday, October 18, 2024, at the age of 86, Robert “Bob” Schubert Harvey slipped into a new life. Bob lived at the Fox-Hollow Retirement Home, having spent most of his life in Ilderton. Bob was the beloved husband of the late Stephanie (Medd) and the loving father of Brent and Kathy Harvey, Stephen and Janice Harvey, Blair and Colleen Harvey, all of Ilderton and Craig Harvey of Sarnia. Poppy was the cherished grandfather of Shannon and Joe, and Lauren and Garrett; Beth and Nick, and Sean and Natalie; Tianna and Bill, and Logan and Haley; Jack and Carlie, and Leah. He was the admired Great-Poppy of Kate, James, Andie, Olivia, Hunter, Aubrey, Theo, Bennett, Lincoln, Cameron and Brooks. He was the dear brother-in-law of Marie Medd and is also survived by treasured nieces and nephews. Bob and Stephanie are reunited in heaven with their beloved grandson Neil Harvey, Bob’s parents Howard and Elsie Harvey, his in-laws Stephen and Eva Medd, his sister Elizabeth and her husband Hugh Riddell, and his brother-in-law Don Medd.
Bob’s life was blessed as an educator and community leader, making our schools better places. Rick Hanson Public School, Byron Southwood Public School and Masonville Public School were all his pride and joy, and his staffs were like family. His retirement life was focused on volunteer work with the OHA, the Western Junior B Hockey League, where the runner up trophy is the Bob Harvey Trophy, the Middle County Board of Education as Vice-Chair, the TVDSB Education Foundation where an annual workplace award is granted in his name, and the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority, where he represented the citizens of Middle Centre. Bob was a member of the Ilderton and District Lions Club, serving for 56 years in various club positions, where he proudly, with his best friend Jack Hodgins, initiated the Ilderton Minor Hockey Association in the early 60’s. Bob was awarded the prestigious Melvin Jones Award by Lions International for his selfless dedication to his community. Bob contributed willingly and asked for nothing in return. Bob spent his last morning with his family, sharing stories, smiling and laughing, demonstrating the love that they had for him and he for them. Bob’s legacy is one of love for his family, sharing joy, growing happiness, hard work and shaping a better world for others.
