KEITH BRYAN HARVEY September 21, 1934 to April 29, 2004 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Keith Bryan Harvey on April 29, 2004 after a six month struggle with cancer. He is mourned by his wife Kay; daughter Cheryl (Craig) sons, Neil, Mark, Kevin (Ros) and Robert. Born in Smethwick, in the United Kingdom, Keith grew up in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, and attended Hartlebury Grammar School. He began his career in science at Steatite and Porcelain Products Ltd. in Stourport-on-Severn. He continued his education part-time and earned a Higher National Certificate in Chemistry from Birmingham Technical College, then a double First Class Honours degree in Pure and Applied Mathematics from the University of London. He later earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Bristol. After a years sabbatical at the Bureau of Standards in Washington, DC, he returned to Steatite. In 1972 he immigrated with his family to Quebec City where he worked for the Centre de la Recherche Industrielle du Quebec for three years. This was followed by three years in Fredericton, NB, working for the Research and Productivity Council. In 1979 he came to Pinawa, MB, to work at Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. After retiring from AECL in 1998, he gave many hours of volunteer service to the Economic Development Agency of Whiteshell. He was one of the original board members of the Deep River Science Academy, served as a School Trustee, secretary to the local FSNA, and treasurer for JUST Corporation. Keith enjoyed gardening, carpentry, reading, tinkering with computers and cars, and the never-ending "project" known as 4 Brock Place. He became involved with the Deep River Science Academy out of his passion for science and desire to ensure that young people would always have an opportunity to learn and grow. Keith loved living in Pinawa and was committed to maintaining the towns natural beauty and wildlife. He was a committee member for Art in the Gardens and loved anything to do with preserving and beautifying the environment. Keith was a respected, reserved family man. His quiet kindness and dry humour will be deeply missed by both his family and many friends. A private family service will be held.
