Mary and I were saddened to see that Harvey had passed away. We were one of the families where he had cut three generations of hair: Arch, Our son Mark and grandson Connor. The memories of visiting with you and Harvey when we came back to Bartlesville are precious to us.

Harvey will be missed by young and old. He was the kindest man. He cut my brother, son and grand kids hair. He was so patient and kind. May God bless and comfort your family during this loss.

Harvey cut my son's hair for the past 5 years. He gave the best high and tight out there! My son is only 12 years old, and he is very sad about Harvey's passing. We actually went out to get his hair cut and saw the sign on the door. Praying for your family during this time. May it be comforting to know how very much he will be missed by young and old.

I worked for Harvey, in the beauty shop in Oak Park. He and Mary were good to me. The Lord has welcomed Harvey home, and he will be with Mary and Don and the whole family - to give them strength and comfort in their loss. My thoughts and prayers are with all of them.

This is your cousin Mil(dred) Heiken Sanderson sending my sympathy for your loss. Many years have passed since I saw Harvey in 1951. That did not mean he wasn't in my thoughts. May you find comfort in the Lord blessing you and giving your strength to carry on. Thanks for serving our country. Rest in Peace.
