Harvey M. Heywood ’49

Harvey died May 4, 2015, in Asheville, N.C., his home for many years.

He came to Princeton after a short stint in the Navy. While on campus, Harvey majored in history and belonged to Campus Club. He was a member of the skeet and bridge clubs and was advertising manager of The Daily Princetonian.

Harvey left Princeton and went to North Carolina State University, where he earned a degree in civil engineering. He then went into construction work and joined the North State Material Co. in Asheville in 1964. About 15 years later, he became president and owner of the firm now known as Normat Inc.

Although we had little contact with Harvey over the years, his life in Asheville showed a variety of interests: He was a trustee of St. Genevieve/Gibbons Hall School, a member of Biltmore Forest Country Club and the Asheville Civitan Club, and an avid sailor and hiker.

Harvey is survived by his wife, Pauline; daughter Suzanne H. Miller; and three grandchildren. The class extends sympathy to them all.
