HARVEY RICHARD GRAHAM SCRIVENER January 31, 1937 - March 11, 2007 On Sunday evening, March 11, at home on Salt Spring Island, BC, Harvey passed away. Harvey is survived by his loving wife Carole, two sons, Glen and wife Kelly and grandson Sloane Scrivener, Colin and wife Rochelle and grandson Chase Scrivener, and daughter Kate and partner Rich and grandson Hudson Wong, his brother Bernard and wife Elaine and nieces, Monica and Yvette Scrivener. He was predeceased by his parents, Graham and Eleanor (Harvey) Scrivener. Harvey was extremely involved in the Winnipeg community through his business and volunteer associations with St. George's Anglican Church (Crescentwood), Diocese of Rupertsland, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (Hall of Fame 2003), United Way, Winnipeg Stock Exchange, Winnipeg Commodity Exchange, Investment Dealers Association, Canada Saving Bonds, Manitoba Liquor Control Commission and Manitoba Club. Harvey truly felt that he had the idyllic life, splitting each year and the 4 seasons between the Lake of the Woods, ON and Salt Spring Island, BC. Papa Woo Woo , as he was affectionately referred to by his grandson, had a life long interest in Lionel trains, an interest which developed in his youth after being introduced to them by his father. The construction of his train display has developed into a year round planning process and will be a legacy for the next generation. His interest in reading, particularly Second World War history kept him in contact with a network of buddies who exchanged reading material. Harvey's 48 years with RBC Dominion Securities exemplified his devotion to his endeavours and to his family and friends. He will be sadly missed by family, friends and business associates across the country. We will miss his humour and the security of his presence in our lives.
