April 20, 2021 9:16 AMI just heard word of Harvey's passing over this past weekend. As a cottager on Deer Lake for over twenty years, it's not only the beauty of the lake, sounds of the loons or living amongst the tall pines, one of the things that will always remain solid to me when thinking about cottage country is knowing a great man named Harvey Pinkerton! He not only installed my septic system, him and his wife Joan became a friend. Tony and I would stop off to see them on their farm and show us their lovely pony's. What a beautiful family! And every time I drive by the blue farm, I always think of those moments we shared many years ago. Joan, I lost my husband Tony three ago, and if it's true that you know your friends in heaven as you did on earth, then I have have a good feeling in my heart that Tony and Harvey are pretty much talking about anything and everything! My deepest condolences.
