I spent a lot of time with Harvey in my lifetime, I met him in 1943/4 before he married Betty his wife, she was my 1st cousin. I worked for Harvey while in HS and also after my discharge from the Army in 1961. Hiked with him in the White Mtns. We sat on the forehead of the old man in the mountain i 1962 and he predicted then that it would fall from freezing ice getting into the many cracks on the surface. Harvey was like a Dad figure in my life and one of my favorite people.

Its been twenty years since that visit and I still remember his wisdom to this day. I...

I used to work at the White Hen Pantry in Reading 25 years ago. Harvey & Betty would often come in at night to do a little shopping. When Betty could handle things, Harvey would come up to the register to spend time chatting with me. These brief encounters were a very positive infleunce on my life. He was very interesting and somehow motivating in his confidence in people. He was a special person. I was even proud when I bought his '74 Kelly Green Buick Electra with the white top for...
