Harvey had many outside interests including repairing electronic equipment and snowbirding to Florida with his wife and daughter during the winter months. He was a wonderful story teller and loved to share his experiences during World War II, and was always enthusiastic about traveling to Central and South America, Europe and the Caribbean Islands. He was also proud of his German heritage, and sharing his knowledge of the language. One of his favorite forms of entertainment was dancing the jitterbug and listening to his favorite big band era musicians.
