Dear Neva and entire family, you have my most sincere and heartfelt sympathy for your loss. He is surely in the presence of his Lord and Savior now. Harvey was a legend to many of us at Farm Bureau Ins co. He was an excellent example to all of us with how he lived his life. He was generous, fun, compassionate, smart and productive and I had the privilege of rooming with him over several years while we took insurance courses. He always managed to make mundane chores more fun, even learning and taxes. God Bless you and thanks for sharing your beloved Harve with the rest of us.

Neva and family, so sorry for your loss. I remember when my mom wasn't well and my dad was home alone Harv would come and take my dad out with him to take pictures for insurance reasons, what a special friend he was. I remember too when tax season came around the two would meet at the Rainbow for breakfast, then off to do dads taxes and mine. Praying for you all.
