I just read this and am deeply saddened by Harvey's passing. I really enjoyed working with him as a caregiver and consider him a friend. A wonderful human being.

What a sweet and gentle man. I knew he was THE man for Arlene when he offered to try to fix her broken air conditioning during a bad heat wave. And failing that, he offered her (and her dog) lodging. Such a mensch.

I was privileged to ride with Arlene and Harvey in a horse-drawn carriage almost immediately following their wedding. I tell Arlene I went with them on the honeymoon trip!

I will miss Harvey´s laugh and special way with words.

May his memory be for a blessing.
