He was Jewish, I was Catholic. At 72, Im in a wheelchair and paralyzed. BLESS HIM AN HIS 2 SONS. Joan Ransom

I am sorry to hear of Harvey's passing. I directed him in Fiddler and remember his smile and willingness to do whatever he could to be the best Tevye. He was great. For many years he came to Hall for the Senior Pops n Jazz performance. He always made a point of seeing me after the show to offer his congratulations. He always had a big smile on his face.

My deepest sympathies to Jeff and the entire Seltzer family. Harvey always brightened my day when he came into Yannis. I enjoyed our conversations immensely. Farewell my dear friend Harvey. I will miss you and I will never forget you

Sending condolences from the Stoltz family to Harvey´s son Jeff and to Gail Brownstein. Our family has many fond memories of growing up down the street from the Seltzers. I had the pleasure of seeing Harvey and Arline at the 60th anniversary of Temple Sinai and took their picture attached here. May the memories of happier times with Arline and Harvey be a blessing to you. With sympathy, Ellen Stoltz

Great neighbor. Enjoyed many of his jokes. Our sympathy to the family. May Harvey´s memories always be present.

Dear Seltzer Family, My sincerest condolences to you all at this sad time. Harvey and I were neighbors on Vine St in the North End, and we worked together at Capen Pharmacy from time to time when he was on break from school, and I after school (my 1st job). He was a really nice guy, and will be missed by all who were privileged to know him. May his memory be for a blessing, and may he rest in peace.
