Joyce and family. I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a father or any parent is something you never get over you just go on. He will be in your heart and the depth of your soul forever. I never met Harper but knowing his daughter Joyce is such a pleasure. Rest In Peace and look out from Heaven over your family.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. We met Harper at the Arrowhead mall many years ago. He was a special friend of ours and "grew up" with our grandchildren when we brought them to walk and visit at the mall. He was a great guy and another fellow Air Force veteran. Rest in peace buddy.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I had the honor of meeting Harper on my frequent trips to AZ to visit my brother (Joe Ochap) and sister-in-law (Dorothy Ochap) He was a kind and gentle soul. Every trip I made I would make sure that we would have a nice little visit at the mall. I am very blessed to have been able to meet such a fine gentleman.

My dad (he passed last August) worked with Harp in the Fuller Brush days, in Phoenix. Our families had many diners and picnics together. I still have fond memories of Marcel and him together. Joyce and I played together and she was always a lot of fun. My thoughts and prayers are you all! I enjoyed reading his obituary and am proud he served for our country.

My father and I were blessed to have Harper as our friend for the past eight years. His kindness and generosity was exemplary and he was always there when I needed a friend. He will be missed in this world by his many friends and family. The Lord has called him to join his other friends and family and he is now at peace. God bless you, Harper, and I will see you again, my friend.

Harper became a very good friend to us, and we were so blessed

To the family of Harper Harvey. We are snowbirds that were fortunate enough to buy the place next to Harper. What a blessing! We enjoyed many events together. At our house, he was always in charge of dessert and brought Marie Collander pies which we all enjoyed. He was a gentleman and we gave him the honorary title of mayor of Brookside. We were so excited about his trip to Washington, and we just saw the posting of him and his granddaughter at the wedding in Las Vegas recently. A life well lived! It was an absolute honour to know him! Glad he went peacefully and lived normal to the end. Know he will be sorely missed. We will notice in the fall when he is not there to greet us. Planning a wake for him with the snowbirds when we get back, so we too, can get closure. There will be Marie Collander pies! Condolences to all. You've lost a special person!
