Harvey G. Harper

I have many fond memories of spending time in Eureka when I was little and the thrill when great Uncle Harvey came by to open the doors on the Carriage House out on Pigeon Point Road so we could play in all the old cars. And it was an even bigger thrill when he actually cranked one of those cars up and took me us out for a spin around town. Those days were long ago but I remember them clearly like yesterday. Harvey is one of the reasons I have kept such fond memories of Eureka that seem...

I worked at the dealership in the mid to late 90s and am saddened to hear of his passing.

Thank you, Mr. Harper for giving me the opportunity to work at your dealership and put myself through college.

My condolences to his friends and family.

Harvey G. Harper was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. Our condolences to his family and "extended" Harper Motors family and friends. His passing is a huge loss for this community.

My late father, Rocky LeRoy, was a car salesman and employee of Harvey's in the 60's. They kept their connection strong over the years, especially as my parents bought many vehicles from him. My dad graciously "loaned" his grandkids, my children Tasha & Joey, to Harvey for several "cross over...

I was proud to work for Mr. Harper for many years-his business practices were certainly "old school" when I worked for him in the late 90's thru mid 2000's but they certainly demanded respect. I admired him for his sharp business mind and the many opportunities he afforded me in his business. I have many great memories of him and his great stories. The city of Eureka and surrounding communities lost a great man. May you rest in peace Mr. Harper you left a legacy that will be missed!

I have missed seeing Harvey around and was sad to hear of his passing. Regards and comfort to the family and to the employees at Harper Ford and Mid-city Motor World. Several times over the past 40 years Harvey personally delivered me to my door when the Harper Ford customer shuttle was over-crowded or my schedule was urgent. He was a very nice man who operated a fair and generous business which proudly thrives today.

Dear Elizabeth Anne Harper-Lawson and family: our hearts and prayers go out to you at this time and may the God of peace, through our Lord Jesus, comfort you. May you be filled with loving memories today and in the days to come! Rose Bietz-Morris and family

A little over 27 years ago Mr. Harper started up a trust fund when my daughter Heather was born. Her father my ex-husband was a car detailer for Mr. Harper for many years and he wanted to give her something that could be added to until the day she finally would go to college. When ever she visited the dealership (about once a week to have lunch with her dad) Mr. Harper would seek her out and give her $5.00 this was always put into her bank account. 3 years ago she graduated from college with...

Harvey: Few left a bigger impression than he did on people. He was sensitive and caring. We had such great times together during our 20 Group meetings. I would marvel at his zest for life and willingness to create and take part in crazy schemes. One day we were leaving the hotel for the afternoon and I asked Harvey if he wanted to take a helicopter ride up the beach over the nude sunbathers. Without hesitation he said "Sure". So the four of us did.
I will alway remember him...
