Harvey was kind enough to give me a job way back in 1978. We hauled hogs to Toronto and did switches in Thunder Bay and feed for Co-op from Guelph. There was always something new to learn working for Neeham Transport. It was one of the most enjoyable times in my life. I will miss seeing you Harvey but I know you need a rest.

Our condolences on the loss of your father and grandfather. We enjoyed the many conversations we had through the years. I especially remember him coming with me to pick up a truck load of firewood. There were lots of trucking stories and no gaps in the conversation. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Harvey. Harvey was a great man and friend. Harvey became my mentor when I took up truck driving. He never had a harsh word during my training. The knowledge Harvey had would fill volumes. When you spent 10-14 days in the cab of a transport truck and not a harsh word spoken tells you how well we got along. When going west for cattle I would say Harvey started a story in Bruce county and finish it in Alberta. Many tangents. Harvey guided me into MacKinnon Transport and I had many good years there passing on my knowledge I learned from Harvey. I miss the days driving and visiting with him. I will dearly miss him. I am blessed to have known him.
