In Memory of

Ross Jeffree Harvey

29 February 1952 - 26 November 1993

Taken from us tragically (due to an air accident), was a great helicopter pilot, father, husband, businessman, friend and leader.

Ross started aviating at a very early age and became a legend in New Zealand and overseas, setting very high standards in his work as a Commercial Helicopter Pilot. He logged many hours over the streets of Auckland City on Police Eagle patrol and Westpac Air Ambulance services.

Many people will remember Ross for his vibrant personality. A person with a smile that was so contagious. Ross touched so many peoples lives and gave so much of himself to others.

Ross was our club President and our close friend. No more talking 'till 1 o'clock in the morning Ross. No more secret rendezvous in the Eagle, but worst of all, no more you. You were tragically taken from us while doing what you loved.

We send our love to Judy, Sarah, and Racheal. Your husband and father was an inspiration to us all.

He is now, and forever, flying high, and if we can touch someone's life the way Ross touched ours, we will be truly blessed.

Never forgotten, our memories are what will carry us through, and we can all hold on to the special memories and times we have shared with Ross.

Goodbye Ross. You will be in our hearts forever.

Debbie and Bruce McKay
