Allan Harvey

We only knew Al briefly but we will treasure the friend we met at the Legion, he and his wife Bonnie were always kind to everyone and I know by the kind words I have read that he will be dearly missed by friends and especially his family…RIP Al, it was a pleasure to meet you…

Al was a special kind of brother in law, he was more like having a older brother, always willing to provide advice when needed if you asked. He had a way about the way he carried himself, to get a smirk or a smile from him was a real accomplishment! Al was very proud of his family and all their accomplishments also, although he may not have always showed it right away. When you think of Alan Harvey, may the memories of the time you spent in Al’s company bring a smile to your face and ease your pain at this difficult time.

Many fond memories of Al at the Airdrie Legion. He was a man of integrity, honesty and compassion. He also had a great dry sense of humour. I was so lucky to have known him. Deepest sympathies to Bonnie, his family and friends. RIP Al.

I’m so sorry for uncle passing, he was a good man, always was my favourite uncle, I think back to the old days when we used to come visit, it was always good times, I’m gonna miss him.

My condolences to Al's family. My knowledge of Al was with the Airdrie Legion Branch. We had some great times. He worked hard at the Branch. For years we served on the Executive of the Branch and his opinions at meetings were well received. His appreciation of service culminated with receiving a Life Membership. I always enjoyed his company. May you Rest in Peace, Al. We will remember them.

There are moments in life when words feel too small and today is one of them. There are truly no words big enough to capture who Al was — a wonderful friend, a devoted father, a proud grandfather, and a loving husband. But we try anyway, because a man like Al deserves to be remembered in full color.

I can still picture that mischievous smirk of his — the one that told you he was already three steps ahead and probably up to something. He taught me that smirk over the years, and I’m grateful for every time we shared it. We pushed the limits more than once, whether we were pressing the button or toeing the line, but somehow it always ended the same way: with laughter. Real laughter — the kind that stays with you.

Our daily banter was something I cherished. It wasn’t just conversation; it was connection. It was friendship in its purest form. Al had a way of making even the simplest exchange feel like a moment worth remembering.

Some of my favourite memories are the ones where Al joined me at car shows, wandering around with that easy grin, pointing out the details only he would notice. And then there was fishing — whether it was at the pond close to home or down in Mexico, those trips were never really about the fish. They were about the company. They were about the stories, the teasing, the quiet moments, and the shared appreciation for just being out there together.

Al lived with a steadiness and a kindness that made people feel comfortable. He was the kind of man who showed up, who listened, who laughed easily, and who made life better simply by being part of it.

Today, we honour a man who meant so much to so many.
A man whose humour, heart, and presence will be missed more than words can say.
A man who leaves behind memories that will continue to warm us, guide us, and make us smile.

Rest easy, Al.
Thank you for the friendship, the laughter, and the moments I’ll carry with me always

He was an amazing man and father, he will be missed terribly.
