I will cherish all the fond memories of my Uncle Harvey through the years at family gatherings and cook outs at my house. He would light up a room with his big smile and I loved to hear him laugh which came so easily for him. He had a great sense of humor and had a great nack for telling jokes. He was a gentle man with a big heart. I know that he is in heaven making all the angels laugh. I will miss him greatly.

Harvey has always been and always will be someone I remember fondly. He and Bertha were among the first of Julie's relatives I met, and we visited them at the old home place in Martinsville (1989) the day before I proposed to Julie. They were so very warm and kind. Harvey always smiled so easily. My sincerest sympathies for Bertha and the rest of the family.
