Obituary of Harvey Roland Shingar

1936 - 2013

Harvey was born on January 6, 1936 in Fernie, British Columbia. He spent most of his life behind the wheel of an eighteen wheeler. He loved to fish and always talked about going up north to catch a king salmon "the big one!" Harvey always had a story to tell or a joke to make you smile. After a short battle with cancer, Harvey passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 7, 2013 in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 77 years of age.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Denise. He will be missed by his eight children Cathy (Ken) Currie and their five children; Terry (Debbie) Shingar and their two children; Melvin Shingar; Harv Jr. Shingar; Barry (Dale) Shingar and their three children; Susan (Steve) Beamish; Karen (Lloyd) Umpherville and their three children and Jon (Shawnna) Shingar as well as numerous friends and relatives.
