Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryPERCY HARVEY January 30, 1942 - April 26, 2012. Drum roll please Hey Guys It is with great sadness, that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and Pop-Pop. Percy (a.k.a. The Valve King ) was born in England, raised in Winnipeg, lived in Yorkton and Calgary, and retired to Kelowna. He owned and operated Cascade Equipment (formerly Flo-Crest Equipment AB.) and was well respected within the flow control industry. Outstanding customer service was his mantra! No matter what the circumstance or situation, Percy always made those around him laugh with his witty quips and one-liners. Always happy, his kindness was extraordinary and his love for his family, friends and pets was immeasurable. As a true gentleman, he would go to the edge of the earth and back for the love of his life, his wife. And he was always most concerned for the well being of others. Percy is survived by his adoring wife and partner of 50 years, Carol, and his loving family including his daughter Dana Nease, son Scott (Cherie), grandchildren Jaci and Jackson, sister Debbie (Barry) Evans and brother Graham (Jean) as well as numerous nieces and nephews. As Percy loved life, it is at his request that there will be no funeral in his honour, but that he'd be remembered for the smiling guy that he was! He loved hockey and football, trains, traveling, fine dining, music and dancing, and good times all around for everyone! Percy would like to leave this world with his favorite exit line, and now for a little travelling music, please! So, in Percy's memory, let the good times roll! Our family would like to express our sincerest gratitude to the incredible care staff at Brookhaven Care Centre for their love and compassion shown to Percy during his illness. You are the best! In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., 865 Bernard Ave. Kelowna, B.C. V1Y 6P6 We WERE good together B.C. - Love L.L. Arrangements entrusted to Hansons' Arbor Funeral Chapels Crematorium, West Kelowna, B.C. Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting www.hansonsfuneral.com

Dear Carol We were so saddened to read of your great loss, please know you are in our constant thoughts and prayers. We often think of the fun and laughs we used to have when we were neighbors in the St. Anthony Apts. in West Kildonan, those days were so much fun. We always enjoyed Percy's sense of humor and good nature. Our love and sympathy to you and your family. Jim & Maureen White - Posted by: Jim & Maureen White (Old friends) on: May 07, 2012
