Harvey Lee Hochhalter was born to Theodore and Bertha Hochhalter on August 12, 1939, in
Yakima, WA. He moved with his parents to a farm near Lemmon, SD, in 1940 and graduated HS
in 1957. He married his high school sweetheart, Carol Ann Hagen in 1961.
In 1963, they moved to Cooperstown, ND, where Harvey worked as an Insurance Agency
Manager and Assistant Cashier at First State Bank. In 1973, Harvey transferred to Valley City
and served as First National Bank Assistant VP and Insurance Agency Manager. In 2002, he
retired after 42 years of banking and insurance sales.
Harvey enjoyed flying, golfing, fishing and camping, and was active in the community and
belonged to many organizations, including Jaycee's Eagles, Kiwanis, Elks, the Barnes Country
Museum, among others. In 2023, he was Parade Marshall for the Valley City Community Days
Parade and received the Chamber of Commerce Hi-Line Award for decades of outstanding
community service. Harvey and Carol traveled to all 50 states and countries worldwide.
Harvey's solid Christian faith guided him with integrity and a generous spirit. Growing up on a
farm, Harvey had a "fix anything" attitude and was always willing to help his children with their
projects long into adulthood. He will be remembered for his good-natured humor and gentle
spirit and will be sorely missed.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Theodore Hochhalter and Bertha Hochhalter, and
brother, Lane Hochhalter.
He is survived by his wife Carol, children, Deanna (Hal) Weiser, David (Diane) Hochhalter, Scott
Hochhalter (Kevin Hemping), and grandchildren, Landon Weiser, Carter (Danika) Weiser,
Theodore, Leah, and August Hochhalter.
