Harv. My dear loved and cherished friend, you will be dearly missed for a lifetime. I know we will meet again, and I am not afraid because I know you will be there with a joke to lighten up my sorrows. I know Craig is there with you, to talk about my bad singing while you wait for me. Thank you so very much for watching over Jessie and being the true friend we have always needed. My life has been blessed with you in it. My heart goes to your family as we all deal with your unexpected departure. RIP my love. I will carry your buckeye close to my heart till I can return it into your pocket. XXXOOO always love.

Harvey Ole Friend you will be truly missed by all that had the pleasure to know you. You certainly will be missed by all your old Parts Buddies and a seat at the table that can never be filled without you. God Bless you Man. Rest in forever Peace.

Harvey you will truly be missed you were such a great kind hearted neighbor for over 20 years. I will miss your waves you always gave me as you were pulling out your driveway. It was such a pleasure for me to help you out with your yard cutting and cleaning the snow off your car. Lol i will never forget that one winter you were standing in your driveway with your cane on ice trying to clean your windows. I walked over and said man what are you doing get your butt in that heated car and let me clean it off. And I always got a kick out of my little nephews calling you Santa Claus and saying there goes Santa on his Harley. My condolences goes out to your entire family. God Bless you. R.I.P. Harvey
