Uncle Harvey was always fun to be with. On Friday nights after the high school football games, we would pack up in his Lincoln and drive to Hampton to stay on his boat for the weekend. My mom always had fun and enjoyed being with her older brother. They always had a good time. Harvey will be missed and I am sorry he has gone. I enjoyed spending his last (83rd) birthday with him. He seemed to enjoy having Kem, Charlotte, Karl, Earl, Phyllis, Howard, Trevor, Graham, Leigh, Jesse Williams and his wife and myself their to share this occasion. He loved his birthday cake. It was a joyful occasion. He has gone on to a better place where he will no longer suffer and can reunite with his son. Again, Harvey will be missed.
