Eufaula bade adieu to a hometown son last week.

McAlester News Capital & Democrat: "The Friends of the Eufaula Memorial Library will also miss Harkey. He served that group as president several times, his final term being last year. He was also a member of the library's building committee and hoped to see the expansion of the library to its fruition. Under his leadership, the computer system was instituted at the library in 1996, making local dial up service available to the community. "
