The Harv was a true Denver Broncos’ fan, loved hot rods and deeply loved cruising his jeep. He enjoyed fishing, shooting his guns, taking long drives across every back road in the valley, listening to music (oldies and Spanish being his favorite), taveling, and watching & attending Nascar races. He loved hanging out with family & friends, and always found himself being the “life of the party”. He never missed a holiday or special event. Harvey worked for K-Mart as a Shoe Manager for 19 years. After the store closed its door he moved on to driving for Schwans and Fedex where he stole the hearts and became close friends with many of his customers. He had a passion for helping his fellow veterans and became a volunteer driver for the VA. He was also a proud member of the American Legion here in Alamosa. His presence touched the lives of many people with his charm, kind, heart, funny jokes, and humble smile. He will be dearly missed by all of us.
