He walks nearly a mile, twice a day. When he gets tired, he can count on one of his Plymouth neighbors having put out a chair for him to take a breather.
“As I got older, I stop and rest more often so then they've been putting out different chairs and inviting me to sit and take a rest,” Djerf said
Djerf said his walks are a chance for him to keep active and give him something to do. The 95-year-old’s wife suffered a stroke last year and is recovering at an assisted living facility so he’s on his own.
"My wife said years ago I just -- I'm antsy. I can't sit still so maybe that's another reason I'm walking,” Djerf said.

The veteran has become pretty popular around the neighborhood due to his daily walks.
“They say when they see Harvey go by twice a day, they figured they should get out and walk themselves. So maybe I'm having a good effect on some people,” Djerf said.
