As a child in a military family, Harvey was fortunate to have the opportunity to live in many places all over the world, ending up in Peculiar, MO and then finally in Belton MO. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree at Pittsburg State College in Pittsburg, Kansas. Harvey worked at Tech Inc. in Lenexa, Kansas from 1986 until his retirement in 2008.
Harvey loved fishing, laughing and his family. He had an amazing taste in music which he shared with the ones he loved. He was a very special, pure soul and loving man. If you knew him you simply smile when you think of him.
Harvey was preceded in death by his parents and sister. He is survived by his son, Michael Newton, of Raymore, MO; two daughters: Heather Antonides, of Belton, MO, and Audrey Quint, of Belton, MO; a sister, Pat Gilling, of Overland Park, KS; 3 grandchildren, Scarlett, Lincoln, and Evie and his former wife, Mary Newton.
A memorial service will be held at a later date in the spring, when we can all do what he loved, a celebration of life picnic and fishing day.
