So sorry to learn that Harvie has passed away. The last time I talked with Harvie was at the Railroad Cafe when I was in Eden two years ago. He was telling me some stories about things some of us "children" from the neighborhood did about 35 years ago. We were having a good laugh and his mind was as sharp as a razor. In fact, he remembered the circumstances better than I did. Harvie was a unique individual and I know he will surely be missed by many people, both friends and family, because Harvie touched a lot of lives. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Thinking of and praying for the family during this time of loss. Your dad and mine, Grover Stewart, used to drive together at Roy Stone years ago and I remember stories of those times and others as their friendship continued. Hoping the memories will bring joy in the days to come. May God give you peace, comfort, strength, and direction.
