On the back of headstone
    HARVEY JOE
He was our little brother, Truly one of a kind
He was like no other with a heart big as Texas
A smile just as wide when you needed a friend, He was there by your side.
An all around sports fan, A real family man and don't tell you can't cause
He'd prove to you , Yes he can.
He taught his three boys to themselves be true as you walk thru this world
just be proud you are you!
He loved his three boys as well as his wife and where ever you met him
he'd brighten your life.
Sometimes rough, Sometimes rowdy, and sometimes a comic when you needed a smile,
He knew just the right trick.
We're all gonna miss him, Heaven's getting a good one, A great husband, A father, A brother, A son.
We Love You
