HARVEY WARNER PETERS It is with deep sadness that the family of Harvey Warner Peters announces his sudden passing at the age of 70 years and 30 days, on December 27, 2000. He was the lifelong best friend and devoted husband of Jeanne (Sloboda) for 49 years and nine months. He was the loving father of two children, Laurence of Colorado Springs, CO, and Wendy (Steven Friend) of Deep Creek Lake, MD. He adored his granddaughters, Stephannie Alexis and Carly Goevanne. Affectionately known as Harv, he was born in Winnipeg on November 27, 1930. He is preceded in death by his father Jack in 1989 and his beloved mother Gertrude (Rosenblat) in 1959. He lives on in the memory of his younger brothers, Marvin (Noreen) of Winnipeg and Allan (Hester) of Victoria, BC; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews; dear cousins and remaining aunts. He will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends. Harvey traveled to many areas of the United States, and on assignment, to Africa with his work as an electrical engineer. For the past 14 years he lived in Port Richey, FL. A man of cheerful nature and positive attitude, Harvey always had a warm smile and a tender heart. He made many friends along the way, took pleasure in his work, and his family. An active member for many years of the Lions Club, he freely volunteered his time to help others. He was also a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Harv was quietly courageous as his health turned, never one to complain, he was always grateful for each day. The companionship and encouragement of his devoted wife helped to make his days comfortable. Religious services were held in his home on Sunday, December 31. His memory will be cherished by those who loved him. There is an angel watching over you in good times, trouble or stress. His wings are wrapped round about whispering you are loved and blessed. And G_d said to Moses, "you cannot see my face, but my goodness shall go before you." That goodness was our Harv. Chaim Wolf, husband, father, zaida, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. The family gratefully acknowledges those who have shown their care by cards, phone calls and remembrances.
