Harvey would come into the office weekly to do business and always shared a fun thought or two with the staff. Gardening, Carving or just plain ole good conversation.

Harvey was a very sweet, kind and gentle man who loved life and will be missed tremendously. I always enjoyed his weekly visits to the office. He was a breath of fresh air as he updated us on his latest travel adventures, his current garden and/or wood carving projects. He loved to share his past experiences with us and had great stories to tell. I feel very fortunate that I was able to share his 90th birthday with him this past spring and I feel blessed to have known Harvey. My thoughts...

Harvey and Betty Hales were my parents' neighbors on Stockwell Street. They certainly had some fun times together. I remember his fantastic greenhouse. His gardens were always lush and wonderful. He was always happy and joyful and always gave a big friendly wave when you drove by. He loved his daughters and his granddaughter. I also remember the little dachhunds he and Betty had, especially one named Digger. What a wonderful couple. I'm glad to have known them.
My sympathies to his family...

Harvey was a wonderful friend to the Zoo. We will miss visiting with him and sharing his love for the natural world.
