"Winters Express," Thursday, October 28, 2004
David Calvis Harvey 

David Calvis Harvey passed away peacefully on Oct. 22, 2004. He was born on Dec.
12, 1933 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Howard George and Lilly Elvira Nelson
Harvey. He grew up in Wollaston, Massachusetts and graduated from North Quincy
High School in 1951. 

Mr. Harvey enlisted in the U.S. Air Force two days after graduating from high
school, with a dream of becoming a pilot. His dream finally became a reality
when he graduated from flight training in September 1961. After Basic Training,
he was sent to Burtonwood Air Base in England. While there, Dave met Shelby Jean
Bontye at chapel choir practice. They were married on Dec. 28, 1955 in
Massachusetts. 

The Air Force took the Harveys all over the United States, to France, and back
to England before being stationed at Travis AFB when they moved to Winters in
1969. Mr. Harvey fulfilled a tour of duty in Vietnam from 1970 to 1971. He
retired from the Air Force in 1971. He sold insurance and cars, before returning
to college, earning a Masters Degree in elementary education and math in 1980.
He taught for 12 years in Yolo and Solano county schools before retiring in 1992.

Mr. Harvey was active in the Pioneer Presbyterian Church and then the Church of
Christ. He was on the Winters Planning Commission, a member of the Yolo County
Grand Jury 1994-95 and assisted his wife extensively with her many activities
and duties as a Girl Scout Leader and Leader Trainer. His labor of love lately
had been with USAF OCS Class 57c alumni. He spent many tireless hours creating
their alumni register and the regularly published newsletter. 

Mr. Harvey’s life had become so intertwined with his wife’s that he was at a
great loss when she passed away in September 2003. They are now reunited.

He is survived by his children and their spouses, Irene and David C. Harvey Jr.
of Shingle Springs; Vicki and Thomas Rasul Catterson of Yuba City, Donna and Jon
Carey of Spanish Fork, Utah, and Mark and Ana Harvey of Winters; grandchildren,
Bonnie Walsh of Citrus Heights, Ryan Harvey of Shingle Springs, Vanessa and
Matthew Rasul and Talon Catterson of Yuba City, Rachael, Jake and McKaela Carey
of Spanish Fork, Utah, and Stephen Hudson and Derek Harvey of Winters;
great-grandchildren, Alyssa Hahn and Dylan Blalock of Citrus Heights.

A Memorial services will be held Friday, Oct. 30, 2004 at 10 a.m. at the Pioneer
Presbyterian Church. Mr. Harvey’s remains were donated to the UC Davis Medical
Teaching Facility.
