Dear Marsha, Aimee, and Erik. I am so sad to hear of Harvey’s passing. As we have not been as close in the last years, there is still not a time I haven’t held you all close at heart. All those camping trips, fun times at your house, weddings, babies and sadness at times. I am sending prayers. God hover.

Marsha and family—so sorry to hear of Harvey’s passing. He was always so nice and a very caring person. We will be keeping you in our prayers.
Our prayers are with you for comfort at this very sad time. Harvey was such a gentle soul and contributed so much to the plays at Mills Masquers. He always had a kind word to say to everyone. He will be greatly missed. We especially enjoyed talking with him about living in Colorado.
Marsha,Aimee & Erik,
We are truly sorry for your loss. I remember the first time I met him at work, I was thinking this is kinda of mean looking dude. Boy was I wrong! Probably the biggest teddy bear you’d ever meet. A proud family man. If you wanted to see him light up just ask about Marsha,the kids or grandkids. Harv would just take things in stride most of the time. It would take a lot for me to get him wound up, and boy did I try. His big hearty laugh was just infectious. The more I would make him laugh, the more it would make me laugh. We all spent a lot of time together when we lived in Glenwood. Had a ton of laughs together and tacos on Thursday nights. Harv was a great friend and he will be sorely missed by all.
Love,
Mark & Suzy
Gee, I am so going to miss you,my dear, dear friend.

My Irish cop in Arsenic and Old Lace. Lots of Mills Masquerade memories. Love and prayers for Marsha, Aimee and Erik.
Marsha…..We are so sorry for the loss of your wonderful husband, Harvey. We was looking at Dan’s dad obit and saw Harveys name. OH MY GOD! I knew he was in the hospital the same time Tom Nutting was, but had no idea he passed.
My heart goes out to you Marsha and your family.
I think of you often and miss you.
You take care…….

I was so saddened to hear about Harvey’s passing. Although I could not attend the visitation or funeral, I will never forget Harvey. I knew him for many years and will miss him. My condolences to the family. Harvey, we will all see you soon.
Rest in peace Harvey. Until we meet again on the other side, forever ride in the wind.
It’s been 7 years and I can’t ever get you out of my head. I miss every little hug or laugh or even when you got mad. I haven’t been on here to look since you died, but i’m glad I did. You had the biggest heart of anybody I knew and I miss you every single day.
I loved reading about how kind you were to everybody and all the great memories.
I love you Grandpa, more than youll ever know
