Thank you for allowing Harvey's service to be streamed. It allowed me to be able to view it and feel a little bit closer to you all and feel like I was almost there with you. I really wanted to be.
To the Brenton family: I miss the days of being able to visit Harvey's parents house in Dunville. And the excitement I would feel when I would hear the distinctive tell-tale sign of the rocks shifting and the sounds moving up the lane, which indicated a new visitor driving up the lane. And the mystery of who that might be, this time. I think it so special how close all of the family was, and how nice it was to have that central meeting place where you all would come together and visit and spend time with one another. I'm with each and every one of you right now.
Ruth, Stephanie, Harvey, Melissa, Stephen, Matthew: Harvey was such a special man. Visits to your place and spending time with you during all my visits were always highlights when I would visit. Harvey was such a warm man, I always loved his inner spirit and his style. What a gentlemen. He was so warm and with that smile he had. He embodied such a great character. He was a great man. I wish I had so many more opportunities to be with him and hear this thoughts and converse on music and songwriting so much more than I did. An immense musical giant of a man. Intensely creative.
Harvey was such a creative soul. Imagine, no accolades, no awards. He lived and breathed music throughout himself for no other reason than the music itself. And channeled it out for the rest of us to hear. Just because it was something felt inside himself with a great passion that he wanted to express. What a testament to his character and inner soul. And an indicator a pure, creative spirit. The fact that he wrote his own music is an indicator to me of just a glimpse into the immense depth of this character and mind. I will really miss him.
We are all better for having known him.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Harvey's recent passing. I had the pleasure of meeting Harvey quite a number of years ago through his involvement with the Argentia Port Authority. At that time the Air Cadet League was looking for a place to carry out our spring and fall glider familiarization flights for our Air Cadets on the eastern side of the island. The former US Air Force base, with its runways and ramp areas, was a logical site for us to pursue this operation. When I approached Harvey with our request he was immediately receptive to our proposition. In short order he sold our request to the committee and we enjoyed many years of operations at the old airport. He along with his committee and all the people of the area were extremely supportive of our program and all went out of their ways to help out whenever anything arose. We were truly grateful for the many years we had our operations there, and for the significant role that Harvey played in our success.
It was truly an honour and pleasure to have met, such a fine gentleman as Harvey and work with him over that time. On behalf of the Air Cadet League of Canada - NL, I wish to extend our deepest condolences and prayers to his family and friends at this most difficult time.

Ruth, Stephanie, Young Bill, Mellisa, Stephen, Matthew, Harvey's brothers and sisters. I like to offer my condolences to all of you on the loss of such a great fellow. I have lots of fine memories of being in his company while visiting the family back in the day. An all rounded person from an awesome family man, dedication to his work and no problem playing and belting out a few tunes are some things that come to mind when I think of him. Rest In Peace Harvey and I'll be thinking of the family in the coming days. Take Care.
