Harvey was a very special person.  I cleaned windows for him at his business and his home.  He always took time out of his day to talk and catch up- even to the guy cleaning his windows.  That really meant a lot to me, I appreciated the talks we had and that he was genuinely invested in the conversation.   I will miss him very much!   Mike

Harvey was a great mentor and true friend to many of us.  We are so sad to learn of his passing.  I will always appreciate his friendship.  

Dear Carol, Jim and Family, Harvey had been on my mind all day yesterday and only this morning did I learn of his passing. My sympathy and love to you all.  I am grateful to Harvey for him taking me under his wing for the past 30+ years.  It has been an honor to be his friend through the years.  He supported my efforts during the SW Weld Econ Dev meetings and the CV Chamber.  I had the pleasure of being your guest at the ranch in Paul's Valley and at your gracious Christmas parties.  He was my inspiration as he was always on the go:  "I'm headed to OK today" and "I'm opening a new Adams Bank in Colo. Springs". In appreciation, admiration and Love. Bill Meier

Carol, I only knew Harvey from  the bank. I believe we formed a good relationship. If Harvey was in the bank when I went in, we be always visited. Harvey was so easy to get to know. Adams Bank lost a great man. He will be missed. Ron and Cheryl Mcwilliams

One of the ways we always felt welcome on the farm and at the house.

One of my best friends - he always made you feel so welcomed, valued and loved. Harvey and Carol both have that gift. I am going to miss Harvey like I do my own grandpa!

We loved visiting Harvey and Carol. They always went out of their way to make it special for the kiddos too!

Carol, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Harvey was such a sweet man. I always enjoyed seeing you at the Rooster. Thoughts and prayers to you & your family during this sad time. Pam Luis

Harvey was my banker and friend for years.  If Harvey was in the bank when I went in, his office was my first stop. He was always ready talk. He will be missed.

Harvey was a great person and had many many stories to tell you about. The first time I met Harvey was in 1961. He had to borrow my moms new car they just brought as his car broke down in front of my parents house. My mom just handed him the keys to get to the bank before it closed in Berthoud. He was so very great full to them but my mom just said you need it you take it.  We visited many times and alway had to bring up that story. He was always fun to be around and had a great family. He will be missed but never forgotten. Rest is Peace in Heaven 

Harvey made an impact everywhere he went and with everyone he met. My thoughts are with Carol and the family.

We are so sad to hear about Harvey‘s passing. He was such an incredible man, mentor, compassionate, entrepreneur, philanthropist, brilliant man… and the list goes on and on! 

He will be dearly missed by everyone that that was blessed to call him their friend. 

Sending our deepest condolences to your families and friends during this most difficult time.🙏🙏🙏



Our deepest sympathy to Carol and family. Harvey was a very dear friend to our family for a very long time. Always loved to have him come to visit us. We will miss you, Harvey. Rest in peace. We love you.
