Ronald (Ronnie) Dean Harvey, 76, of Gothenburg, died Sunday, Aug. 15, 2010, at
the Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney.

Burial will be in the Gothenburg Cemetery at Gothenburg.

Ronnie was born Oct. 24, 1933, in Lexington, to Albert and Verna (Golden)
Harvey.  He was the fourth of 10 children.  When Ronnie was young, the family
settled in Gothenburg.  Ronnie spent his youth outdoors fishing.  As a young
boy, Ronnie was welcomed into Onie and Mae Brown’s family and formed lifelong
relationships with their family. 
  
During Ronnie’s early adulthood he was an experienced Golden Glove boxer. 

After hanging up the gloves, he went to work at Great Western Sugar Factory in
Ovid, Colo.  It was in Ovid that Ronnie met the love of his life, Evelyn
Bennett.  Ronnie and Evelyn were united in holy matrimony on Sept. 3, 1955, in
Lexington.  To this union three children were born; Cynthia (Cyndi), Ronnie Lee
and Barbara (Barbie).   

During his early married life, Ronnie worked for Healey’s Hay Mill and Jess
Quinns’s farm.  With a young family, Ronnie moved to Starr, Idaho to work with
his brothers-in-law in a land leveling business.  In 1970, the family returned
to Nebraska and Ronnie began fulfilling a 30-year career at Monroe Auto
Equipment Company.  Ronnie and Evelyn were lucky to be able to work for the same
company, and rode to work together each day.  In 1976, Ronnie was awarded the
Merit Award for Distinguished Contribution from Monroe’s for his suggestion for
improvement on a machine, which was later patented.  It was at Monroe’s that
Ronnie made many friends and lasting relationships.  
 
Ronnie is survived by his children, Cyndi (Kelly) Wohlert of O’Neill, Ronnie Lee
Harvey of Lexington, Barbie (Tom) Wolfe of Cozad; brothers, Don (Debbie) Harvey
of Gothenburg, George (Peggy) Harvey of Columbus, Jim Harvey  of Gothenburg and

Ronnie was welcomed into Heaven by his wife Evelyn, who passed away six years
ago to the day before him.  He was also preceded in death by his parents; Uncle
Onie and Aunt Mae; brother, Roy and sisters, Beverly Earll and Rosie Rhinehart.
