Harvey will always be a father figure, Big brother/best friend and a whole lot more. I will always be thankful to Mr. Harvey Sims JR. for taking me in from off the streets of Dayton, when no one cared to help me in those days. I had no family living in Dayton at the time. Harvey help me through some of the hardest times in my life..words can't tell you who he was, he was so unpredictable and so full of heart, goodness, a caring loving man, who I was blessed to have lived with him, in Dayton view. He never let the system shut him or stop his joy for life and family..He was from our Lord and to him he has returned. To his family REJOICE
