Dearly loved, Harvey Munro, 76, of Dungannon, ON, passed away peacefully on Monday April 5, 2021. Harvey, loving husband of Sharon Munro, brother of Alena and William (Buzz) Munro (predeceased) passed away in the comfort of his home in the presence of his wife after a long battle with cancer. Harvey was born in July 1944 in Goderich, Ontario. He married Sharon in December of 1964 and is survived by Sharon and their four children Monica, Marcus, Madawna, and Miranda. He is also survived by ten grandchildren Aaron, Eli, Erica, Sarah, William, Seth, Ayla, Josiah, Luke, and Jesse. Harvey is survived by his cherished sister Irene Ruttan and her children Kim, Darren and Alena, and nieces Mary Helen and Karen. In Goderich, Harvey worked 8 years at the PUC as a journeyman lineman prior to moving to Alberta with his young family in April of 1976. He began work at Belcourt Construction and then was hired by Alberta Government Telephone which became Telus as a Communication Technician. He retired from Telus after 25 years in December 2002 and spent his retirement years in Elkford, BC and Dungannon, ON. He enjoyed meeting with "the boys" to “shoot the breeze” and talk golf. On occasion, while playing golf “high rolling nickel bets” were played for added pressure. He also treasured his visits with his many close friends in all the places he lived. Through Harvey and Sharon’s life there were many special, long lasting friendships made all over the world. He was known for his humor and quick wit. Whatever Harvey did, he did it to perfection, whether it was building, repairing, or renovating. Harvey treasured his wife and his entire family and had a way of making everyone feel special as though they were his favorite. Special thanks to the nurses who tenderly cared for Harvey who made it possible for him to live in the care of his wife and gave his children the ability to shower love on him in the comfort of his home during his last days. Harvey was immensely loved and will be forever missed.In lieu of flowers on Harvey’s behalf please consider donating to compassion or B’nai Elohim Fellowship. Bnai.Elohim.fe[email protected]

For the Munro Family
I first met Harvey back in late 50’s/ early 60’s. I was friends with his broth Buzz. Harvey was then and I think from what I read now a good, kind man. They were raised by their Aunt Mary (Gillespie) > when I was 13 or 14 Harvey worked for the Toronto Star as a side job taking all the carriers around to the neighborhoods and trying to get people to sign up for the Star delivery. Harvey was an encouraging individual. I ended up winning a new 3 speed bike and 75 bucks doing this. it was with Harvey’s help that I succeeded.
My deepest sympathies to the family
