"Harv always had that biggest smile, welcoming disposition, and was willing to be there for what mattered the most in his world. He loved his grandchildren dearly and would give the shirt off his back to help anyone who needed it.
You often read about people's best qualities when they pass, yet I was lucky enough to see and feel the warmth he brought wherever we met.
If there were more Harvey's in the world, we'd all live in a better place."
