Harvey had an outgoing personality, never met a stranger, and enjoyed interacting with people.  He loved the Lord, his family, and many friends.  Harvey was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, and enjoyed nothing more than family gatherings.

Harvey lived by the “Golden Rule”, he believed in treating everyone the way he wanted to be treated.  He was a faithful Christian, and it was evident by the way he lived his life.  He loved helping others.  Harvey was a longtime active member of the Calvary Baptist Church where he was always willing to help do whatever was needed; he loved his church and church family.

Harvey’s other pleasures in life consisted of fishing, telling jokes, watching the old western movies, and working in his flower garden.  He was also known to be a big hugger.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Marvin and Ethel Boulware; wife, Janie Boulware; and brother, Larry Boulware.
