To our loving Grandson Bobby, How our life was blessed, and brightened on that day you were born. We were awakened to a new kind of Love, with a depth beyond our dreams. How could we have known at that time it was just the beginning? The dark days and sorrows, they mixed with laughter and joys seamlessly into an elixir that became unique between you and us. Many times we held you in our arms, and many times you had to hold us and comfort us. Strengths and Weakness ebb and flow like the ocean tides. Throughout it all. You must know, that from your very first breath you have been deeply loved by all. Sometimes Love is loud, and sometimes Love is silent, and soft . Our Love for you will echo throughtout all time, and memory. You are everywhere we look in the very air we breathe. What we have. Death cannot reach. On that day we became your Grand Parents. It was written in eternity, you will forever be in our thoughts and prayers. We love and miss you dearly Bobby. Love And Miss You Forever In Our Hearts, Grandpa, and Bapcha

We have known Bob and Sue Harvey and the Harvey family for many, many years and consider them to be our dearest and closest friends. We have shared in many of the family’s milestones, and we were with them when Bobby and Jenn got married. However, we never expected to mourn the loss of one of their children. We are completely saddened at your tragic loss. The outpouring of love and support from friends, family, brotherhood and community is a true testament to what a wonderful and loving person Bobby was. We are blessed to have known Bobby and will keep him in our hearts forever. Know too that we are here for you - just to listen, or to talk. May God provide your family with the strength to find purpose in his wisdom, and may Bobby’s soul rest in peace. With our deepest sympathy, your loving friends, Bill and Joyce

I am so sorry for the loss of Robert. My heart goes out to you and your family. Reading the article. I can see Bobby was a great Husband, Son, Brother, and Friend and will be truly missed. I also read he was a dear friend to George Peachey. He was my sisters father inlaw. He passed away also, so now they can be together once again. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this most difficult time. Lisa

To The Harvey Family, I did'nt know Bobby, nor do I know the Harvey family, but I do have a son about Bobby's age and to lose him, as you have lost Bobby, would shake my faith. Please accept condolences and deepest sympathies from a neighbor in Brockton who can only imagine the pain you feel. My prayers are with Bobby and you at this time.

Don Canning

September 22, 2008

To The Harvey Family, My deepest condolences for the loss of your son, and loving husband though I only knew Bobby for just over a year. The things I remember most were our hockey conversations and the great amount of time we spent working "on the iron" together. Though I am a newcomer to this area. Bobby always made me feel welcome with conversation of hockey and family life, and a sence of true comradery. May God bless you with love and healing in this time of need, now and forever.

Bob Harvey

September 22, 2008

Dear Bob and Sue, During this time of sorrw. I thought this story would be a comfort to you. "a word of consolation" If a tiny baby could think, it would be afraid of birth. To leave the only world it has know would seem a kind of death. But, immediately after birth, the child would find itself in loving arms, and showered with affection and cared for every moment. Surely, the baby would say "I was foolish to doubt Gods plan for me". This is a beautiful life. For The Christian, passing through death is really a birth into a new and better world. Those who are left behind should not grieve as if there was no hope. Our dear ones live on in a world more beautiful beyond anything we can imagine. With Jesus ansd Mary, they await the day when they will welcome us with joy. "Do not grieve too much", they say to us. "We are still living and are still with you". For them who have been faithful, O Lord, life has not ended but merely changed; and when this earthly abode dissolves an eternal dwelling place awaits them in Heaven. Requium Preface from The Roman Missal. I love you and wish you peace. Auntie Barbara

-Kristen XOXO

September 14, 2008

My Brother was a Gift
First to my parents as their carrot top infant son,
Next to Karen and I as our cutest baby brother.
He met some of you and began school. To where I'm sure he brought much fun and laughter.
Very early in his life he found two of his favorite things, His Beautiful wife and hockey. These were the things that brought him the most joy and remained through all these years.
I know that his hockey family meant as much to him as he means to all of you. He loved hockey! Playing and watching. He was a great player and a great fan.
As a man, He was gentle and he was kind. He was brave and he was bold. But put on his skates and watch out! He was quick and he was precise. He was bad and he was mean... if you were on the other team.
Some may say that he was lucky. He had so many families.
A family by blood, A family by love, A family by marriage, A family by friendship and a family by bond.
He was my brother and he was your brother. He chose all of you to walk his life with him. We were the lucky ones. My brother was a gift.
There was no need for him to travel the world. For, he was building America. He was happy with the simpler things. His couch and a cold beer, with his wife and dogs beside him watching that huge, brand new TV. He loved to cook, he loved to fish and he loved to fix things. Always seeming to be on a little project. He took pride in everything he did and owned. His truck was a good example of that. His banged up dirty truck with the shiny wheel cleaner and perfect tint job that he did himself. I think it took him 3 times before he was happy with it. Tommy and I watched for an hour as he painstakingly got every last bubble out. I could go on forever about all of his good qualities and all of my memories of him and I'm sure you could,too. Please call with a funny story and let us share our memories together. He has made us all one family now through his death and we will need our memories and eachother to carry on.
To those of you, His brothers by bond, My family wants to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You shared with him a talent and bond that most of us will never know. Thank you for being with him in those last moments and for never leaving his side. You promised my dad that you would bring him out of there and you did. To you we extend our hands and invite you to our family. My parents have gained so many new sons and my sister and I so many new brothers. We respect and care for you deeply.
And In closing I would like to say...
My brother was a gift, a very special gift, for 28 years, 18 days and 12 1/2 hours and we are so thankful to have had him. And although it is much too painful,
"It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all"

To my baby brother Bobby with all of my love, You will live in our hearts forever. I am so proud of you and although It hurts so much to think of you now, I will never stop loving you and dreaming of you as the wonderful, handsome man that I watched you become, The kind and loving brother that you were and the most affectionate and giving uncle in the world. Tommy just adores you and we will think of you everytime we put his skates on. Actually, Jenna will get herself into a pair of skates for her first time this fall, too and ( I can see you smiling now at the thought) They will grow up skating in the same rink where you grew up! They will be so proud as they skate in your honor. And all of us will share the stories of your victories and triumphs with them. You will soon become a dad and It is going to be such a blessing for us to have someone new to share all of your wonderful stories with. Although you are not here in person Your beautiful child will know you as well as we do and will be SO proud of you! I like to think that maybe someday Tommy & Jenna can teach him or her how to skate and carry on the tradition that you started...but with your genes that kid will probably come out with skates on, and show them both up! Bobby, I wish you were here so that I could give you a hug and tell you how much I love you. I will hold onto all of my memories and love you forever and when I close my eyes and wish strong enough maybe I will feel that hug and hope that you feel it too. I love you always.

"You have what I need: arms to hold me, hands to soothe me, lips to thrill me.
You have what I need: a shoulder to lean on, eyes that adore me, a heart that loves me.
You have what I need: to be happy forever and ever."

Bobby,
You gave me this card on Valentine's Day 2002.
I think about you every second of every day. I miss you sooo much! You were not just my husband but you were also my best friend. We grew up together and shared our whole lives with each other. You always loved me for who I was, flaws and all! It was easy to fall in love with you and once I did there was no going back. I don't think any two people were meant for each other as you and I were and I will never understand why you were taken away from me so soon but I know that we will be together again someday and I look forward to the time I can hold your hand and look into your eyes again! Thank you for our little miracle. I love you always!

Bobby I miss you sooo much and I can't wait to be with you again someday! I love you always!

I want you back so much . You ment so much to all of us. You never think that something like this could happen. It did and it ripped the heart of our whole family. We all want you back. What can I do to change that horrible day. That terrible Thursday we all cannot forget. I cannot describe the pain of our loss. You touched so many people it's so hard to believe, I am so proud of you. I would like to thank the people for the out pouring of love that has been shown towards our family. Bobby, I know you looked down that day. And smiled upon us. You touched so many people. I cannot believe. So many people came to visit to show their love. I could not even dream of so many people you had touched. We always knew you were a special gift. The love that people have given towards our family has been to hard to descibe. You are the bond that held our family together. Bobby, we miss you so much. It is so hard everyday looking in Mom's , Karen, and Kristens eyes. I can see the pain, and emptiness they are feeling. It is so hard to get by everyday without you. I wanted to take this time to thank the people for thier love they have expessed. But ended up talking to you. I love you, and I am so proud of you . Our love for you is ever lasting. We will always look at Jenn as part of you. You can rest peacefuuly Bobby. We will take care of Jenn, and your baby that will be coming soon. I take some comfort knowing that in the coming months. I will look in your eyes again, when Jenn has your baby. Be at comfort and know he will be loved by so many people. He will also know his Dad, and how so, so special you were. Bobby. I wish I had the words to tell you how much you ment to all of us. I forever will love and miss you. Not a day will go by that you will be in our thoughts and send our love. It is so hard eveyday you are not with us. Thank you again to all that have expressed their love. Bobby was loved, and will be missed by many. I love you son. We will soon be together as a family once again Dad

Bobby,
It has been a little over 3 weeks now and it still doesnt seem real, it feels like a very bad dream.I always knew that you were a GREAT kid and the best brother in the world but I never realized how many lives you have really touched and how many people love you.I have heard a lot of stories in the past weeks about the little things that you have done for people and how you have touched the lives of so many and I am so proud of you and even prouder to be your sister.You have left me with so many special memories that I will cherish forever and I will never forget.Our lives will never be the same and I will always have a piece missing out of my heart.I will think of you every day and miss you every day.Dad said he will still cut you the biggest piece of prime rib on our Christmas dinner and Kristen will still make you your peas and pearly (scallion) onions (whatever they were called!) on Easter!We were always a very close family and we are even closer now and you may not be there physically but we will continue to share our memories and stories and you will be forever in our hearts. I love so much Bobby and you are now my angel. RIP My Little Brother. XOXOXOXOXOXO

My beautiful baby boy......I'll love you & miss you forever....Mom

I miss you Bobby my redheaded brother. This is just crazy and unreal. I miss your goofy laugh. Jenn gave me the shamrock that you held onto for all those years..You have no idea what that means to me. My heart dropped when she handed it to me. Little things went along way with you and I'm glad I brought over that ice cream cake about two weeks after your birthday.Beter late than never right?!?! I'll think about you everytime I eat those chocolate crunchies. My heart is sore from missing you but we'll all help eachother along bc we had some great times through the years. YOU ARE THE BEST BOBBY..you truly are. We'll all take care of Jenn for you. We love you always and forever and you will NEVER EVER EVER be forgotten.

Peaceful be thy sleep dear son, It is sweet to breathe thy name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. Dad

Dear Harvey family, I don't even know any of you, but I work next door to the old shipyard and the sight of the crane is sad and haunting after the death of your loved one!! I walked over to the sight after work last week and prayed for Robert. May you all find some kind of comfort in the support of your loving family. God Bless all of you!! With my deepest sympathy.

August 22, 2008

Karen & the entire Harvey family,

Usually not at a loss for words but I was & am when I learned of the passing of your brother/son/husband. No one can figure out why someone so young is taken from the world far to early. I didn't know Bobby but from the entries below, & Karen speaking so highly of her family, I feel like less of a person for not having the pleasure of meeting him. Always know that we are never truly gone as long as your memories sustain. Please accept my deepest sympathy, thoughts, and prayers.

August 22, 2008

I am so sorry for your loss. As the wife of a millwright I know there are very real dangers on the job. But to have them realized is truly a nightmare. My heart breaks for the loss you are experiencing. May you find comfort in your memories.

To the Harvey Family,
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I didn't know Bobby, but I used to work with Kristen at QH, before I moved to PA in '99. She always spoke very highly and lovingly of her brother Bobby. I know that he will be missed deeply. I wasn't aware of the crane collapse, until I received an email from a friend, Lisa (Tarulli) Breeden, a friend of Kristen's. Again, I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope that all of your fond memories of Bobby, help to ease you through this tough time in all of your lives.

Andrew & Donna Rogantino

August 20, 2008

To Jen, You don't know us, but I want you to know that you are in our prayers. We heard about the accident but we did not know that you were John White's daughter. My husband, Andrew, worked with your dad many years ago when you were just a little girl. We have not seen your dad in a long time and we were just talking about him the other day saying we would love to see him. He was a good friend.
It is difficult to find the right words to comfort you. We are praying for everyone and hope God will continue to heal you. Please let your dad know that we were thinking of all of you. I hope the outpouring of support gives you some comfort in knowing that your husband was loved by many. Our deepest sympathy, The Rogantino Family

To Jenn, my girl Karen, family & freinds:
I don't know where to begin as to what a great family you are and how many lives and people you have all touched in such a good way. You have suffered a tragic loss of such a great man, son, brother, and husband. My heart goes out to you all and of course you know I will be here for all of you while you get through this one day at a time. I am always here with open arms.

Dearest Harvey Family,

I saw this terrible accident on the news, and my heart ached for the family. At that time, I had no idea that Robert was Karen and Kristin's brother. I just realized that, because Jeff Henley (Karen's ex-boyfriend, and one of my husband's good friends) is at my house right now, and he told my husband and I the aweful news. I couldn't believe my ears. Kristin used to babysit for my nephew Joshua in the early 90's, and we both went to Quincy College together. Karen and I used to go to go on double dates with my husband (my boyfriend at the time) and Jeff Henley. It is such a small world. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. May God be with your family at this time. May you find comfort somehow when you think of Bobbie's smile, and all the great times that you shared together.

Karen Michalski

Ive known Bobby since 2nd or 3rd grade..he was the cute redhead with freckles everyone liked. 20 or so years later he was the handsome redhead with freckles everybody loved.He married one of the best people I have have ever known. Jenn no words can make up for your loss but know that he is always with you watching over you until you meet again. He lived his life for you and you cherished it and never once took it for granted that I know made his life full.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Bobby will always be remembered as "one of the great ones"

To the family and friends of Bobby,
I remember Bobby from high school. After I graduated I met him again at Tufts Univerisity in Medford, Ma, where we were both working at the time. He was telling me that he loved his job as a Local 7 Iron Worker. Throughout the years we were always running into each other. I had just seen him again at a wedding in June, and it breaks my heart to hear of your loss. He was the greatest kid in the world. My sincere condolenscenes to his wife Jennifer, and family.

Bobby will always be sadly missed but most of all will be His smile. I remember him even smiling at a 5am Hockey practice when syl and the rest of us coaches were skating there butts off. You could never remove his smile. So now he's smiling down on us and watching over us. It may be tragic but when God wants you God gets you and he picked the best. My sympathy and prayers go out to the Harvey family and all who knew him. He will always be remembered and never forgotten

Karen and family- I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Here is a poem that I received that helped me when I lost my mom.
"A Letter from Heaven"
To my dearest family some things I'd like to say
But first of all to let you know that I arrived today,
I'm writing this from Heaven. Here I shall dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said "I welcome you,
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone,
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you are part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do to help our mortal man."
God gave me a fist of things that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you . . in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
1 wish that I could tell you all that God has planned
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain though my life on earth is o'er
I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind
And when it's time for you to go . . from that body to be free
Remember you're not going . . you're just coming here to me.
