MacPHERSON,
Harvey
Alexander
Died October 16th at Saint Mary's Hospital in Kitchener, Ontario.
Harvey celebrated his 90th birthday earlier this year at The
Village of Winston Park where he was a resident. Born on March
2, 1913 in Macton, Ontario to John and Elsie (née
REAMAN)
MacPHERSON,
Harvey was the eldest of three children. His brothers Ron and
Grant predeceased him. In the 1930's Harvey learned to fly, and
after a stint of bush pilot work in northern Ontario with Algoma
Airways, became the chief flying instructor with the Kitchener
Waterloo Airport. When war broke out, the Kitchener Waterloo
Airport was contracted to open a flight training school in Goderich
for the Empire Flight Training Program. In 1940, Harvey went
to Goderich as Chief Flying Instructor and trained hundreds of
pilots for the Commonwealth. Before leaving, Harvey married Elizabeth
Jean Gartshore
LAING, the daughter of Reverend A.A. and Marion
LAING.
Harvey met Elizabeth when her father was the minister at Linwood
United Church where he attended. During the war, Harvey joined
the Royal Canadian Air Force. At war's end he took a job with
Dominion Rubber (now Uniroyal) in Kitchener. In 1958, Harvey
took over the operation of Caya Fabrics Ltd. and later became
its sole owner. He managed the business until the early 1990's
when he retired. Harvey, Elizabeth (Betty) and their family were
active members of Trinity United Church in Kitchener for many
years. Betty passed away in 1975 after a long battle with Amyotrophic
Lateral
Sclerosis.
Harvey is survived by his children; Doug
MacPHERSON
(wife Kathy
MacPHERSON,)
Barbara
BUTLER (husband Bob,) and Bruce

and Brett BUTLER and Matthew and John
