Memories of him are a blessing for all.
January 10, 2014
Dear Ruth and Ben,
When I received your Christmas card today, without Harvey in the picture, I had the dreaded feeling that he may have passed on. And so I found out when googling his name.
I have very fond memories of visiting with you at your beautiful home after Yale reunions. Harvey was always the perfect host. Werner specially enjoyed those lunches, meeting up with his class mates.
Since Werner passed away just about 6 months before Harvey did, I know what you are going through. But you are a close knit family, supporting each other, that is always a big help.
My deepest sympathy to you and all those who loved Harvey.
Love,
Johanna Janssen

Dear Ruth, I just learned of your loss and was very saddened. I knew Harvey when he lived in Westport and always thought he was one of the smartest and interesting guys around.. His knowledge and support of the arts, architecture, politics and worthwhile charities showed that he had wonderful taste and a big heart. I reconnected with Harvey when I worked on the Westport Historical Society architecture show for which Harvey was very generous and got to learn at that time how proud he was of you and his family. I hope the interesting years you had together brings you some solace. Allan Cramer

Dear Ruth, Ben, and all of Harvey's family, I had the great pleasure of meeting Harvey and many members of his wonderful family back when we were remodeling the Priory, and to date I can say that Harvey was one of the most genuine, gracious, and interesting men one could hope to meet. Knowing him, albeit briefly has made a lasting impression. I am very saddened to read of his passing, my condolences to all of Harvey's family and friends.

The board and staff of HOME INC pause to mark the passing of Harvey Koizim, our friend and colleague for more than 25 years. A founding director of HOME INC and for many years its President, Harvey was relied upon by all for blazing trails and for offering wise counsel. Passionate, tenacious, challenging, and loving, Harvey set a standard to which the rest of us aspire. His many community efforts almost defy counting.
He will be greatly missed.
