He was dearly loved by his family and will live in our hearts forever.

Memorials may be made to Special Olympics or March of Dimes.
Special thanks to nurses and staff at St. Catherine Center who cared so lovingly for "Harvey" for so many years. And to Dr. Sapp and Providence ICU nurses John, Tina and Kirk who were so supportive of James and our family.

St Catherine Center will miss "Harvey" very much. He was quite the character, and always had an opinion. He had an eye for the pretty ladies and loved his James Bond movies and his math books. Neighborhood 4 will not be the same without him! Barbara, you are in our prayers.
