Im sorry to hear that Harvey passed away recently. I got to know him fairly well back in the 80 and 90s and enjoyed some great memories of him on some river trips and snowmobiling as well as other events.
He was a great guy and I have never forgotten him or the good times with him around.
May God bless Harvey Geis and his family.

Wow, I'm so sorry to see this….My Mom called me yesterday to tell me about Harvey passing, I wished I would have known sooner I would have definitely gone to his memorial. Harvey, a few other guys and my Dad (Bob Allen) were serious river adventurers. They went places with river boats (fiberglass and aluminum) that no one thought was possible. I have many fond memories of these adventures and miss them all. RIP Harvey!

We met Harvey several years ago when we started riding motorcycles-and just visited with him a couple of weeks ago. He was so fun and was a kid at heart. Seemed as if he had traveled the world, because everywhere we went, he always ran into someone he knew. What a life he led. We enjoyed riding with him.
