As a young person long ago in the Mesa Third ward I remember your Dad and grandfather as a very kind, upbeat and happy person. I love the Green family and all the memories I have of them from my time in the Mesa 3rd Ward. My deepest condolences to you and to all of us for the loss of Harvey.

To the family,

Our heart felt condolences go out to you all. Your father treated everyone he knew like family. When in need, he was always willing to give a hand. He was fun to be around, and we will never forget him. He will be greatly missed.

We are so very sorry to hear about the loss of our "Uncle Red". We always enjoyed his company when he came to visit us in Pittsburgh. We will certainly miss his smiles and especially his stories. He's in a better place now. I'm glad he'll be with your mom. Our deepest sympathy goes out to everyone.

Mandy and I like to send our deepest sympathy for your loss. Uncle Red was a great man to talk with and to know. I will always remember him as one of the funniest guys I ever had the pleasure of knowing. He always had a joke or a story to tell.
