Veterinarian Eddy McCarvill, an important part of numerous harness racing success stories from Quebec over the past 30 years, has died, age 62, after a long battle with stomach cancer.
He ll be missed, not only as a super vet, but as a super guy, a gentleman, a professional. He was quiet and low-key but always there for us, said Claude Levesque, head of the Quebec Jockey Club, whose board of directors included McCarvill.
A native of the Jonquiere region of Quebec, which used to have to its own track, McCarvill initially wanted to be a racehorse driver and trainer, but at the urging of his father, a racehorse owner, he opted for veterinary studies.
