Throughout Harvey’s life, he was known to have the “gift of gab”. Nobody was a stranger when he was around, he could talk with anyone. More often than not, inviting them to his home for a “good ole’ southern dinner”.

He enjoyed going fishing and camping with his family. Harvey would always light up when the kids were around for a visit and usually snuck in a history or political lesson to them!

He was known for collecting many items and never turned down a good buy.

He is survived by his four children, his adopted children, many grandchildren and great grandchildren, his siblings; Bill, Bob, Hoyt, Shirley, and Gayle. Along with many friends, who were treated as family.
