Harvey Snowbell, a loving husband, devoted father, adoring grandfather, and proud great-grandfather, passed away on September 12, 2025, in his hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He was born on September 12, 1927, to Alter and Miriam Snowbell.
Harvey was the epitome of a dedicated family man throughout his life. He lives on through his wife, Elaine, his children Miriam (Robert Buckler), Michael (Tova), Judy (Etan Diamond), and Jonathan (Atara), as well as his cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was the beloved Zeideh to Ben (Esther), Rebecca (Yishai), Danny, Ariela (Zecharia), Natan, Rafi, Eli (Naomi), Shira, Avi, Moriya (Gidon), Daniel, Rinat, Naveh, and Lavi, and great-grandchildren Gabriella, Naomi, Talia, Aharon, and Yosef, and took immense pride in watching them grow and flourish.
Harvey was a man of great integrity and unwavering faith in God, and combined that rare quality of quiet modesty and firm morals. At his core, Harvey was a religious Jew who held a deep love for Israel and Torah. He lived his life guided by the principles of kindness, compassion, and respect for others. Harvey was an accountant by profession, and possessed a meticulous memory for the most minute details of his work and his family. He was known for his dedication to his profession and his ability to navigate complex financial matters with precision and care. His commitment to excellence and his strong work ethic were evident in everything he did.
Harvey had a zest for life and a warm, infectious smile that could light up any room. He had a remarkable ability to find joy in the simplest of moments and never passed up an opportunity to share a joke or a lighthearted story.
May his memory be a blessing, and may his legacy of love and kindness continue to inspire all those who were touched by his remarkable presence.
