I had no idea just

You are a strong leader of people whether in the office or in the community; thank you for your continued inspiration. Comment from Dayne T. Shope to Harvey’s Facebook page I remember that day as if it was yesterday. I remember calling your house and asking for you and hearing the sadness in your mother’s voice. I was sorry then and will always be sorry for
your loss my friend. Change needs to happen. It has been far too long. Your family is amazing.
