The obituary notice of William John (Bill) HARVEY

My deepest sympathy to Bill's family and friends. I spent 4 wonderful years at Dundee University as an undergrad where I met Bill. Bill was always one of the first to sign up to the Engineer's Ball and one of the last to leave the dancefloor with Sue. Always with a smile on his face, he was a mentor that was dedicated to sharing knowledge with others. I was privileged to keep in touch with him professionally and to meet him again on a course.
One of his legacies will be the Aberfeldy Golf Course world first long-stay advanced composite bridge over the River Tay. Working with some students to construct this flagship footbridge, Bill would think nothing about taking a trek up a munroe for a 'break'. The topping out party for the footbridge is something that can never be forgotten! Doing the Conga across the River Tay in the early hours of a summer month certainly tested the bridge beyond any British Standard and I am pleased to say no engineers were harmed in the Conga or lost.
