John “Harvey” Ferguson passed away peacefully in CEE Hospital, Petrolia, in the early hours of Friday, April 28th, in his 82nd year.
Harvey was the much-loved husband of Julie Kelly for almost 30 years. He is survived by sisters Inez and Wayne Gare, Helen Pearen, and brother Lloyd and Donna Ferguson and their family.

Harvey was a longtime, proud member of Burns Lodge, Wyoming, the Lambton Shrine Club, the Mocha Shrine, and was a founding member of Island View Hunt Club, where he went each fall for as long as he was able.
When he wasn’t working, Harvey thoroughly enjoyed his card games with his circle of friends.
