It is with deep regret and sadness that we announce the passing of Harvey A. Fyke on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013 at Riverview Health Care Centre.
Left to cherish his memory and mourn his passing are his wife Margaret (Peggy); son Ward (Shirley); daughter Dawn (Kevin); granddaughters Nicole and Kaylee Fyke; Aliandra, Courteney, Payton and Maryn Brown; brothers Leverne (Joyce), and Ken (Dawn); brother-in-law Tom (Gwen); sister-in-law Beth (Ivan); and brother-in-law Bruce (Jocelyn).
Harvey will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and close friends too numerous to mention.
He was predeceased by his brother-in-law Bill; sister-in-law Jean; and nephew Cameron.
Harvey was born in Moosomin and despite being raised in a farming community, it is here that he began his long and very successful career with TransCanada Pipelines.
Soon afterwards he met and married Peggy and they began their life together.
As his career progressed Dad moved his family from Ile de Chenes to Portage la Prairie and eventually Kenora, Ont.
With a young family leisure time was spent snowmobiling, curling and supporting the local hockey team. Dad had a love for the outdoors and thoroughly enjoyed his hunting and fishing days along with the opportunities he had to help friends at harvest time.
Following his retirement in 1994, he and Mom relocated to Winnipeg where they could continue to enjoy NHL hockey and connect with their many friends in and around the city. Being close to an international airport also allowed them the opportunity to take many extended vacations with family or friends to destinations around the globe.
He immensely enjoyed spending time at the cottage. In the earlier years of life at the lake he became fondly referred to as "Bush Man" because in the heat of the day you often found him with coveralls and work boots on, running his chainsaw. Dad built this family home as a labour of love and delighted in having his kids and grandkids come to enjoy it in the summers.
Over the years, Dad took at lot of pride in opening up their home to friends and family from afar. Socializing filled with laughter, teasing or a good debate over a game of cards brought him great joy.
Despite being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease then Alzheimer's disease in the last few years of life, Dad never lost his keen sense of humor, or his desire to constantly be "on the move."
A service of remembrance was held on Wednesday, Feb. 20 at 10 a.m. at Thomson "In the Park'" 1291 McGillivray Blvd. Winnipeg, Man. with Rev. Gordon Taylor officiating.
