Russell Irvin Harvey, Jr.
March 24, 1949 - March 4, 2021
Russell Irving Harvey was born March 10, 1949 to Russell Irving and Ethel Harvey in Baltimore, Maryland. Russell always did well in the technical sciences and graduated from Baltimore Polytechnic High School. Upon entering the US Navy his acumen for technical things excelled as he began his studies in electronics. He was stationed in the Philippines for sometime during the Vietnam War. It was there that he met his wife of over 40 years, Ida. Russell was loyal to the US Maritime Forces joining the US Naval Reserves upon his return to the US and then the US Coast Guard where he served down to the end.
Russell was always very, very gregarious. He could just walk up and strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere. He loved a good laugh and had a fantastic memory for statistics. He was an avid fisherman and loved good music and could really cut a rug! He is survived by his fiancé Josei, his sisters, Thelma and Barbara, brother-in-law Jesse and his nephews and nieces, Johnathan, Camilla, Anthony, Nicole and Ramsey. He leaves behind a host of great friendships.
He will be greatly missed.
A private cremation was held.
