Harvey was born August 10, 1939, at home in
Copeland, Idaho, to Leon and Hazel Georgia Pearl
Pedey. He attended school at Copeland Rural

He married Karen Zenier on July 26, 1958, in
Bonners Ferry, and together they raised three
children.
Harvey worked at various positions during the
early years of family life, including Gene’s OK

he purchased Monk’s Texaco Service, continuing

business as a private contractor, including
working with Don Crum, Michael Haynes, Bob
Robertson, and Merle Hill. In 1972, Harvey and
partner Russell Docherty purchased Plum
Chevrolet, continuing the business as D & P

the dealership, he resumed his construction
career, retiring in 2001.
Harvey’s community activities included Badger
Boosters, Band Boosters, Jaycees and Kiwanis
