Dear Rick,
When I first saw you in your AirForce uniform almost 60 years ago, I thought you were the most handsome man I had ever met. With your ready smile and your easy laugh, you gathered everyone into your circle and you held their rapt attention. All the fun songs we as a family would sing while you played guitar or autoharp, now bring memories flooding back. The Harvey family Christmases, the summer picnics and all the get-togethers we enjoyed kept our family close. You were my hero. You laughed through your pain, most of the time and you always praised God. Many people have been blessed by your testimony and the beautiful songs you sang together with Marg. You have been a special reminder to all your friends that true love can abide when you have the wonderful care and companionship of so wonderful a person as my sister, Marg. Together, despite the difficult times, you preserved and were truly blessed to live such a full life as a witness for how God works in a man and moulds the clay to His will. You indeed lived your life “God’s Way.”
