UPEI Founder Dr. Harry Love passes away
The UPEI and PWC community was saddened to hear that retired professor Dr. Harry Love passed away on January 28, 2017. Dr. Love had a constant and deep appreciation for UPEI.
He graduated from Prince of Wales College in 1956 and continued his studies at Dalhousie University, where he completed a Masters and a PhD in mathematics. Dr. Love returned to PEI to teach mathematics at Prince of Wales College and UPEI from 1960 to 1997. With a special interest in statistics, he was passionate about teaching and adored by students.
Honoured in 2007 as a UPEI Founder, Dr. Love played a key role, along with his wife Anne, in the development of the University. His presence continued at UPEI through volunteering at reunion events and with the UPEI Retirees Association, and as one of UPEI's most vocal fans. Long-time donors and UPEI Visionaries, the Loves created the Harry and Anne Love Scholarship which is awarded annually to a Mathematics major.
Dr. Love is survived by his wife Anne (née Michael) and brothers-in-law Leslie Hiscott, Roger (Margaret) Michael, and Gordon (Sandra) Michael. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to MacLean Funeral Home – Swan Chapel. Flags in front of Kelley Memorial Building will remain lowered to half-mast in honour of Dr. Love until Friday. Memorial donations to Trinity United Church, Charlottetown Rotary Club Foundation, or UPEI are being accepted.
