Harvey Wayne Pinder, Sr Obituary (1941

CSM Harvey Wayne Pinder, Sr. (US Army Retired) of Oracle, AZ passed quietly away at 9:45am on January 29th, 2016 in Las Vegas, NV. He joins his wife of 56 years, Patricia Ann Lewis and his son Michael in the warm embrace of God; leaving his children Tracy, Mark, Donna, Kathi, Harvey, Robert, Carl, 15 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren to carry on his legacy. Raised as an only child to loving, adopted parents, he thought of himself as the seed of a whole new clan. With 28 years in the United States Army and 21 years of civil service with the US Army Personnel Command, Harvey exemplified dedicated service to his country and those who defend it. He was quick with a joke and felt at ease in most any social circle. He loved his children and instilled in them the values of dedication, perseverance, independence and an appreciation for lifelong learning. He will be remembered by all those whose lives he touched by those very values. His children feel fortunate to have had a father that gave them the courage to be the individuals they are; with their mother’s love and his independence and vision, they have all found the freedom to follow their own unique paths and live life on their own terms, that is a true gift. There will be a private service for the family at 8024 Hackberry Drive Las Vegas, NV 89123. In lieu of flowers, the family request that a donation to the VFW Foundation (www.vfwfoundation.org) be made in his name.
