Harvey enjoyed attending farm sales and watching sporting events of television particularly football and baseball. One of his hobbies including welding unused everyday items such as an old satellite dish or metal paint tray into birdbaths and bird feeders. Harvey's golf mannequin that was always in their front yard, usually brought lots conversation that he took in good spirit.
