Darryl and I send our deepest condolences to you all in the passing of Uncle Harvey. Although my visit with him back in June was likely to be my last I still remember the very special smile (smirk) he had when we walk through the door. His eyes even lit up. That memory is engraved in my heart. I have so many memories growing up around the farm. He was a tender dear person and will be sadly missed. Love to you all
