Harvey

[Clunkmeister]

Guys, this is the hardest thing I’ve had to say in a long, long time, but early this morning,  our longtime friend, confidant, and the King of Likes, Harv Boyer, passed peacefully into the open arms of our Risen Savior.

Harv was known for his huge heart and was always there to help others when they needed helping.

There will be a Service in Shell Knob, Missouri within the next couple weeks, so watch this space for news.

Never met him in person but somehow I still knew him.  He was one of the people I missed the most when I left they hobby and I regret not being able to say hi one more time.  A true honest and kind soul.  Happy modeling and fair skies Harv.

I kept in touch with Harv and his family a bit via his facebook page.  So sorry to see him pass.  This is from one of their posts announcing his passing.

Just saw this and it's a real shock. As others have said, never met Harv but you did feel you knew him, His input was always so upbeat and encouraging and he made this a great place to be.

Just found out about Harv’s passing through Bev, his lovely wife. I meet Harv and Bev a few years ago, while he and Bev were in San Antonio, TX., for a convention. Only meet them both for a few hours, broke bread, went to a few local hobby stores and just talked. He made me feel like I knew him all my life. Was very kind and funny. We messaged each other, through out the years and through his ordeal, and always asked how I was doing, and always said, “I love you buddy.” After every conversation. With Harv, he  genuinely meet it, they just weren’t words, Bev confirmed this.

The world is sadder today, because our modeling brother has left us. Our Father has called Harv home, his job on earth is finished. May Harv Rest in Peace and may the Lord bring Peace to Bev and the entire family, during this time.

Just a bit of our conversation today:

“Hi Reuben, I remember you
Yes, my dear Harvey passed away yesterday morning early in the morning 
I don’t really know exactly what happened, but I do know if he ran out of breath 
He loved you guys all of you just know that please.”

”World War II airplanes was his life! He loved models he loved you guys he loved the camaraderie he loved buying selling and trading airplane models.”

Im proud to call Harv my “buddy.”
