             RECOGNIZING THE LIFE OF MAYOR HARVEY C. SKOOG

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PAUL A. GOSAR

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 28, 2021

  Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of 
Prescott Valley Mayor Harvey C. Skoog. Harvey selflessly served his 
community as Prescott Valley Mayor for a total of 19 years, excluding 
the additional years he spent serving as a council member and vice 
mayor. Harvey maintained a consistent leading record in his local 
community through his involvement with the Arizona Society of 
Practicing Accountants, Arizona Association of Enrolled Agents, Good 
Samaritan Nursing Home, Chamber of Commerce, League of Cities and 
Towns, Northern Arizona Council of Governments, and Central Arizona 
Senior Association, to name a few. Harvey's accomplishments are widely 
recognized in the state as he was honored as a co-recipient of the 2015 
Prescott Area Leadership Man of the Year award. He was also passionate 
about expanding home ownership, religious freedom, and educational 
opportunities for the youth.
  However, Harvey's contributions reach further than his professional, 
service, and leadership roles. After marrying Edna in 1960, Harvey 
raised 9 successful children who have raised 59 grandchildren and 63 
great grandchildren. Madam Speaker, I wish to offer my deepest 
condolences to Harvey's entire family. His contributions will never be 
forgotten by the state of Arizona or the people of Prescott Valley.
