Harvey enjoyed spending relaxing time at the lake with his beloved family, precious dogs and Vernon’s Kuntry Katfish. During his career, he relocated many times around the country, but always made time to serve at church as a deacon, Sunday school teacher, seniors “Joy Club” leader or just carrying boxes for the food bank.
