Harvey was a loving husband, awesome father, and grandfather. He retired from Bassett Furniture with 45 years of service. Harvey never met a stranger. He loved everyone and was loved by all, especially his family. He enjoyed his “hobby” farm, and designing, creating, and building everything. He was a unique man that was always busy and had a wonderful sense of humor.
We celebrate with him now that he is in his heavenly home. Harvey will be greatly missed by family and friends.
A private graveside service will be held at Catawba Memorial Park with Rev. Gregg Plott officiating.
