JUST, Dr. Harvey Henry

November 15, 1925 - May 1, 2020

It is with both sadness and thanksgiving that we announce the passing of Dr. Harvey Henry Just in his 95th year. Harvey was born on the family farm north of Orcadia, Saskatchewan to Martin and Hulda Just. He attended the old Orkney Stone School and Church and graduated from the Yorkton Collegiate Institute. His ambition had always been to be a Veterinarian and was accepted into the Ontario Veterinary College at Guelph, Ontario. He opened the South Hill Animal Clinic in Prince Albert and practiced for 39 years. Harvey met Madeline Mcaulay, "the lady with the smile", in Yorkton. They were married at Knox United Church in Saskatoon on November 22, 1952. They lived and raised their family in Prince Albert where they resided for 45 years. Harvey and Madeline had six children: Arlene Just, Martin Just, Valerie Preston, Heather Hanson, Christine (Robert) Hopkins and Jon (Roxana) Just; grandchildren, Alicia Finch (Kevin Kirkup), Michael (Kelsey) Finch, Mitchell Preston, Mark Zbaraschuk (Meghan Taylor), Justine Zbaraschuk (Kashus Bieber), Rory, Andrew and Annalise Hanson, Shelby Hopkins, Meaghan Hopkins (Reilly Doidge), Danielle Hopkins (Louis Carter); and great-grandchildren, Remy and River Finch. He is also survived by one brother, David (Lyn) Just; sisters-in-law, June Just, Darline Mcaulay and Anne (Bob) Hearn; as well as many nieces and nephews. Harvey served on many boards and committees including professional Veterinary Associations, PA City Council, PA School Boards, church, hospital and service clubs. His work ethic was instilled by his parents who provided him with the gift of love, parental care and guidance. He loved his family deeply and worked hard for his community and is remembered as a good man. After retirement, Harvey and Madeline lived in Victoria for 10 years and continued to return to "paradise" to visit for many years after they had moved back to Saskatchewan. They travelled to many parts of the world during their marriage. Harvey was predeceased by his wife Madeline; brothers, Herbert, Georgie, Alvin, Lyle, Kenneth; sister, Agnes Husulak; sisters-in-law, Jacqueline Miller, Edna Williams, Eldine Just; brothers-in-law, Wilfred Mcaulay, Granville Williams and Peter Husulak. As a family we would like to extend a special thanks to Vergie Ventura and the staff and elders of the 4th Neighborhood at Sherbrooke Community Centre for their loving care and friendship. A private family graveside celebration of Harvey’s life will be held at Orkney Cemetery. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Donations in Harvey’s memory may be directed to Orkney Historical Society or Sherbrooke Community Centre.
