Uncle Harvey was the kindest and most caring person. He always had a smile on his face. Someone in the family had asked Harvey how he wasand his comment was '' If I had more hair on the top of my head, I would be a ten!" He has always been a " Ten ".

Even though distance kept us apart, like Kathy and all of Cobbs children, and I'm sure all of Uncle Harvey's nieces and nephews, I felt I was his favorite. My mother, Marie, made Harvey and Muriel my God Parents. Many a time when I was deservedly punished, I threatened to runaway to Seattle and live with Uncle Harvey. He was there by his sisters side (my mother) when my father died suddenly in 1969.

I remember a funny moment when my mother and Harvey ran into each other at Schulz and Lindsey. My mother was there to fill her car with gas. Well those to got to talking and laughing and well, the car got filled up with diesel fuel. We didn't get but a few block before the call stalled.
He may not have known it but he left a gift for me - that smile. When life gets confusing, I remember his smile and then things somehow magically get put in perspective. It works every time.

God Bless Harvey, Muriel, Coleen, Lori Ann and Paulo

Uncle Harvey was my God Father. My mother and dad knew if anything happened to them there would be no better place for me than to be raised by Harvey and Muriel Moos. I was always very proud to mention my God Father was Uncle Harvey and not afraid, on occasion of appropriate punishment, to threaten to move to Seattle. I'll never forget the entire Moos family being so supportive to my mother, Marie Moos, when my father passed away unexpectedly in 1969. It was unfortunate that distance did not allow us to visit but the Moos family has never been forgotten.

Growing up the Christmas gatherings were some of my fondest memories. I also remember,as a young boy, my mother went to the Shultz & Lindsey shop to fill her car with gas. Uncle Harvey was there and he filled it up for her and they were busy catching up on kids and family stuff. Everyone was so busy so they made the best of their un scheduled time together. We left and after a few miles the car stopped running. It turned out Harvey and Mom were talking so much and not paying attention that they filled the gas tank up with diesel fuel. I remember all of us laughing about that latter in the day.

The best gift, and he probably never knew he provided it, he gave me was his smile. When life gets out of order, I sit back and remember the smile and things prioritize themselves. God Bless Harvey Moos, Muriel, Coleen, Lori Ann and Paulo. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was so upset to hear my beloved Uncle Harvey had suddenly passed. To me he was so strong,Someone to lean on, someone to give me needed advice. He always was smiling and had a trick or tease he would chuckle about. And so to my surprise he had one last one for me You see, I was his favorite of all the nieces and nephews. Or so I thought. While talking to my sister Dawn I was surprised how she seemed to think she was his favorite. And then my sister LaDonna seemed to think she was, and even though I didn't ask Dan and Kevin, I am convinced they felt the same. As probably did his other nieces and nephews. So instead of being jealous, I smiled as I knew he had another chuckle at my discovery. For he had the capacity to love us all and make us feel special. I will remember the times at your house when we played cards with Colleen and Laurie and cards would fly so fast that diamonds somehow got mixed into the hearts pile. And Aunt Muriel saying "Oh my" to many of Uncle Harvey's tricks. I will miss the visits and his stories about his girls, the gardening, and yes the wonderful walks with your dogs. And I will take with me forever the lessons: of compassion,to always be respectful and help people maintain their dignity despite financial or physical difficulties they are facing. And how to be your "brother"s keeper". For never was there a better brother than Harvey to my dad Cobb. Coming every week to visit, and then visiting my mom, Grace after dad died. You will be in my heart always.

Uncle Harvey was always smiling and love to tease you.
He was always good to his family and was always willing
to help anyone that needed to. Him and my mother (Irene),
was very close as children ;living on the farm, He and Irene
played football together in school. I will miss him so very much.
