Dr. Alexander Maitland Harper (Alex)
March 10, 1926 – July 24, 2012
The community of Lethbridge has lost a prominent citizen and intellectual. Dr. Alex Harper was a son, brother, loving husband, fabulous father, grandfather and great-grandfather. With his PhD in Entomology, he was a research scientist studying insect pests of field crops with Agriculture Canada for 40 years.
He leaves behind his wife of 56 years, Georgean (nee Hirst) and his four children: son Dr. Brad Harper and his son Brin; daughter Shawna (Dr. Mark) Trebble, and their children Dan (Lyndsay), Stephen, and Shannon; daughter Paula Harper (Daryl Collison), and their children Frances, Ben, and Erin; and daughter Dr. Liana Harper (Dr. Pierre Gaulin), and their children Alexi and Mathieu. He also leaves one brother, Dr. Alfred (Naila) Harper, and their children Shareen (Robert) Kruse, and Wendy Meyers, and three children. Alex Harper was predeceased by his father and mother and his younger brother, Dr. Frank Harper and wife, Alice.
Alex had a strong sense of justice and concern for the underprivileged. He was a longtime member of Kiwanis, and was a Senator and on the Board of Governors for the University of Lethbridge. He enjoyed good food, good friends and a good discussion! He had a passion for the outdoors and was happy showing his children where ladybird beetles over-winter, taking his family skiing, hiking, camping, and travelling. The family has lost a kind and gentle man, and greatly loved patriarch.
The family would like to thank ALL staff of Unit 3C at Chinook Regional Hospital who helped care for Alex. Their smiles and compassionate caring were invaluable support.
A Celebration of Alex’s life will be held at 2:00 pm on Sunday, July 29th, 2012 Martin Brothers RIVERVIEW Chapel, 610 – 4th Street South, Lethbridge, with Valerie Martell-Kostiuk officiating.
