I had the privilege of working with Harvey while we were stationed as radar air traffic controllers at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey. He was a great workmate and excellent at the job. He was well liked and respected by everyone. It's 4/19/2024 and I came by this obit while remembering our time as sailors together.

The world has truly lost a kind and loving man. I met Kent when I was 10 years old and he was dating my sister whom he ended up marrying. He was such a good brother-in-law to me and I adored him. The only solace is knowing that my sister Karen was waiting up in heaven for him. RIP Kent.
