HARVEY R. PEARCE June 22, 1925 - January 18, 2006 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Harvey Pearce at the age of 80, on January 18, 2006. Harvey is survived by his two sons, David (Dianne) and Ralph of Calgary, his four grandchildren, Jamie, Kristen, Ryan and Jaycie as well as his brother Ben. Harvey was an accomplished and respected teacher at Glenlawn Collegiate in Winnipeg where he was admired for his dedication and his active involvement with track and field. Upon his retirement from teaching, Harvey resided in Victoria before moving to Calgary in 2003, to be closer to his family. Harvey will be remembered for his passion for learning, teaching and coaching. His quick wit and sharp sense of humour helped to foster many friendships. He was predeceased by his sons' mother Evelyn Pearce in November 1983, as well as brothers, Norman, Ken and Ralph. The family would like to thank the staff at the Colonel Belcher Veteran's Hospital, Calgary for their care and attention to Harvey. As per Harvey's wishes, no service will be held. If friends so desire, donations may be made directly to the Calgary Poppy Fund, 109, 315 10th Avenue SE., Calgary, AB T2G 0W2. Condolences may be sent to d.pearce@shaw.ca

Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • I worked with Harvey at Glenlawn Collegiate, spent many of my lunch hours talking with him in his classroom. - Posted by: Martha Colquhoun (Friend and fellow teacher at Glenlawn Collegiate ) on: Apr 11, 2020

  • I had the pleasure of having Mr Pearce for my physics teacher in high school, graduated in 1976. Mr. Pearce was always very busy with extracurricular activities, including track, and computer science. I recall him ranting one day as he was teaching our class that our generation was going to be so lucky, as we would only have 3 day work weeks, and even those would likely be half days, due to the advent of computers. I'm not sure where I missed that exit in life! lol. As well, if we came close to the answer on his tests, he would be very quick to remind us that close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, atom bombs, and dancing! He was truly a wonderful teacher, and may God keep his soul close to Him for eternity - Posted by: Ian Cowan (ex student) on: Sep 08, 2018

  • I first met Harvey at the SAG session "The Physics Bull Session". His passion for sports (track) and physics was second to none. He is one of the main reasons why I chose to become a physics teacher. Always will he be remembered and his ideas passed on. - Posted by: Brian Dentr (Student and colleague) on: Nov 10, 2015
