Harvey Zeesy Klein M.D.

Life is mysterious.... I’m headed out for an early round at Peacock with my son, first time in years to do this, and Harvey shows up here... keep you in my pocket today Harvey, what a nice reminder of how lucky I am to get to do this today, and that I had all that time with you... love to your family

With heavy heart, I learned today that Dr. Klein has left us. I worked for him in his office at Mt. Zion Hospital from 1975 to 1977. How the staff enjoyed teasing him, with his gentle ways! He will always remain one of my favorite people. We lost touch after 1977 and about a year ago, I googled his name and found him at UCSF. I sent him an email and we exchanged many laughs about "old times" in our pathology office. He had not forgotten a thing! My deepest sympathy to his...

We'll all miss Harvey so much here at UCSF.

I interacted with the good doctor just about daily. You don't think people you work with are that important until they're gone.... I just saw the vase of flowers in front of his office door. My prayers are with his family.

The world has lost a great man, a guy who I loved to talk to with his calming and joyful personality. We will miss him dearly.

My heart goes out to Harvey's family and many friends - the world is a sadder place without his wit and sarcastic smirk. I had the great pleasure to spend a lot of golf time with harvey - veiled as lessons - in the end I think just an opportunity to talk about golf and life, and his dogs, and yes, Pat too! A rare human being, taking his golf but not himself seriously. My heart aches all the way on the east coast - a nice glass of red tonight to you , my friend.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
