ROMOFF, Harvey 1936 – 2018 Peacefully, on Wednesday, September 12, 2018. Beloved husband of Susanne Gardner. Father of Jordan (Susan), Janie, and Joff (Tara). Grandfather of Claire, Zoe, Jake, and the late Ariel Romoff. Son of the late Lily and the late Israel Romoff. A brilliant student at McGill and MIT, Harvey excelled at what he did.

He loved food and was both a gourmand and a gastronome – loved to cook at home and with his friends – had a cookbook library and an interesting wine cellar. Harvey worked for Canadian Pacific for more than forty years, completing his career as Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Pacific Ships in London, England. He will be deeply missed by his wife, Susanne, and by his family and many friends. Special thanks to the Doctors, Nurses and Staff at the CHUM for their exceptional care and compassion, as well as to all those whose support meant so much to his family.
