Harvey Lee Montgomery passed away peacefully at his home in Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday, June 9, 2024. Paddy, his wife of 63 years, junior high school sweetheart and “love of his life,” was by his side. Harvey is survived by his three beloved children, their spouses, and seven grandchildren: Susan Montgomery Wilson, husband Jerry, and children Katie, Ben, and Nick; Brian Montgomery, wife Jodie, and daughters Alyssa and Rachael; and Chris Montgomery, wife Julene, and children Max and Sabrina. Harvey’s passing preceded his siblings C.P. Montgomery, Jr., wife Margaret and Marcia Manzo, husband Peter, and their children and grandchildren. 

 

Harvey was born on September 19, 1940, in Newport News, Virginia, to Clarence and Annie Montgomery. Harvey attended Washington Lee High School in Alexandria, Virginia, where he was a member of the first U.S. public high school rowing team invited to participate in the Henley Royal Regatta in England. Harvey then attended George Washington University, where he was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity and continued to row for GWU.    Graduating with an accounting degree, Harvey began his lifetime career with IBM. Harvey’s career took the family from Maryland to California, Arizona, North Carolina, and back to Tucson, where he and Paddy enjoyed early retirement. Harvey and Paddy loved camping with the family and traveling all over the U.S. and abroad, seeking opportunities to travel with and visit the people they cared about.  

 

Harvey found joy in the little things and was always there to offer a helping hand, which often involved his handyman skills or computer expertise. He led a fulfilled life with his wife and enjoyed get-togethers with his immediate family, siblings, and close friends, season tickets to University of Arizona Basketball games, and his love/hate relationship with golf.   

 

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to your favorite charity in his honor.
