Harvey lived a full life, active life and was an amazing and energetic man, right up to this end. True to his statistical loving mind, he reminded us on his last day that he had lived to 77.9506 years of life.
His early life experiences and education set him on a lifelong path towards working for social justice and climate change. His love of adventure, travel, the love of puns, language, music, fitness and carpentry was reflected in his many interests and leisure pursuits.
In addition to his loving wife Sue Cowan, his life and legacy will continue to be celebrated by his children, Bronwen (Mark) Samuel, David (Hui Mei), Aaron (Linda) and Jonathan; his step-children, Lesley and Ian and three beautiful grandchildren, Sadie, Courtney and Wasayah; extended family and many friends.
Although you are deeply missed, we are relieved that you were able to pass in the way you so desired and are no longer in pain after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Via Con Dios. We love you.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to Green Action Centre or Eco Justice.

Harvey was one of the most brilliant people I have ever met. It saddens me that I will never have another chance to engage with his brilliant mind. Basic Income, Early Childhood Development, Climate Change, Economics there were few things Harvey was not knowledgeable about. Not only brilliant, he was also incredibly generous with his time. He volunteered for numerous ecological and social justice organizations. He sang in his church choir, and was a member of a barbershop a capella band The Happy Homesteaders. Harvey was a man of many talents. I got to know Harvey quite well as he made substantial contributions to the Green Party of Manitoba as he was a key volunteer on the Policy and Platform Committee, chairing the Committee from 2014-2016. Harvey was the brilliant mind behind many of the statistical calculations behind our policy/platform planks in 2016 and 2019 elections. Condolences to Sue and the rest of the family. Harvey you will be sorely missed. James Beddome, Leader, Green Party of Manitoba (2008-2022). - Posted by: James Beddome (Friend) on: Sep 18, 2022

Harvey made very significant contributions to advancing the cause of basic income in Canada, both in the academic realm and in his generous work with advocacy groups. His mastery of quantitative analysis made the evidence-based case for justice and equity that strengthed and amplified the moral arguments made by many others. Harvey was also a kind, warm and unassuming person who exuded these qualities to all who worked with him. He will be missed. - Posted by: Jim Mulvale (colleague (University of Mantoba) ) on: Sep 08, 2022

Harvey's work leaves a crucial legacy for the movement for a guaranteed income. We at the Basic Income Canada Network are immensely grateful for the work that he has done for various provinces and for the national modelling he did for us in 'Basic Income: Some Policy Options for Canada' (2020), which broke new ground. His energy, advice, skill, commitment and generosity in helping non-profit organizations like ours, in support of too many people who need better income security, was remarkable. Even close to the end, he talked about taking on a new project in the north to help as much as he could while he could. We will truly miss him. - Posted by: Sheila Regehr (Colleague) on: Sep 06, 2022
