Obituary : Harold "Harry" L. Furrevig died
unexpectedly on August 21, 2022 while vacationing with his wife, children and
grandchildren near Bar Harbor, Maine. He was born on March 12, 1950 in Jersey
City, NJ to Norman Furrevig and Margaret Greenaway Furrevig. He was residing in
Tellico Village and Delray Beach, Florida.
Harry graduated from the Naval Academy in 1971 and
gave 20 years of service to our country. He completed his flight training in
Pensacola and tours of duty in Newport, Kauai, Coronado, the USS Enterprise,
Pensacola, D.C., Rota, Spain and back to Kauai where he retired. He flew T-28,
H-3 and C-12 aircraft as well as being an Administrative Officer. After he
retired from the Navy in 1991, Harry went to work as a pilot for American and
Northwest which later merged with Delta Airlines. He definitely had "the
need for speed".
Harry's biggest joy was making sure that those
around him were happy and his sense of humor was contagious. He loved boating,
traveling, singing karaoke, golfing, hiking in the mountains, collecting shells
on the beach and listening to live music. His number one priority was family.
He was married for 44 years to his beloved wife, Carolyn Hoffman, who survives
him along with their children and grandchildren. Harry was so proud of his son,
Kristofer Furrevig and his wife Shayna, his daughter Alison and her husband
Michael Brennan, and their children, Ocean and Isla and Landon and Blakely,
respectively. He also leaves behind his siblings, Joyce Furrevig Kuthe, Norman
Furrevig and Mark Furrevig as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was
a special man who touched the lives of all he knew.
A service of remembrance will be held at 2:00 PM
on Saturday, September 24th at:
Sabal Pines Club House, 2500 SW 22nd Avenue,
Delray Beach, FL 33445
