Condolences for Harvey James Anderson
Harvey and I knew each through our work with Merle Rambo and Rambo Associates. Harvey was fun guy to be with. We had a lot of fun on fishing trips to Canada. Lots of stories I could tell. It sad to think that Harvey is gone. But considering how his health had slipped the last months, he’s in a better place now.
Teresa and Brian, stop by our house sometime when you are Lake Panorama. 4104 Aspen Cove, on the east side, almost to the NW end of the road.
