David, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Your father was a kind and generous man and I'll always have fond memories of him.

June 2, 2011

Dear David, Jodi & Amy:
My deepest sympathies for this tremendous loss to you and your beautiful families. Your father will always hold a special place in my heart. He is one of the greatest men I will ever know. Becoming his personal secretary at a young age (19), while working with him at the exciting ABC, I learned early on about business and professionalism. He even introduced me to buying and selling stocks! His generosity in sharing company celebrations and gatherings with employees at the finest restaurants in Buffalo will always be treasured. He was such a very smart, successful, energetic and kind gentleman. His spirit and wonderful memories will live within us forever.

With sympathy and love,
Isa Soderlund & Family West Seneca, NY

My sincere and deepest condolences to the family and friends of Harvey. I started to work for Harvey when I was just a young man. I have always held dear the many memories, and skills, he created for me - well beyond the 14 years I worked for him. He was a genuinely great and friendly man. As successful as he might be, he would enjoy all of life - and also made sure we all came along for the ride! I count him among the very few people who have left their indelible mark on me and made me who I am today. For that, and for his friendship, I will always be thankful. He will be sorely missed and the world is a lesser place without him. May he rest in peace.

Dear David & Family,

My condoleances with this enormous loss.
Harvey was a man of the world, with a big heart for Asia, a person who loved people and always was interested to learn more. Whether as father, friend, mentor or business partner, all roles fitted him well. He is the one who thought me a/o to also look outside of the box. I truly will miss him.
Harvey, rest in peace!

I first met Harvey, when I first started working for him, at 17 years old. Harvey was a great person who always was there as a business advisor, mentor & friend. At times during the early years he was a father figure to me. A person I could always count on. Having worked for Harvey for over 35 years, I know Harvey enjoyed people and life. My deepest condolences to David, Jodi, Amy and all the extended family. I am positive Harvey helped make the world a better place. I know he helped make me a better person. I will miss him dearly.

Harvey will be truly missed by everyone who knew him no matter where they crossed his path in life. Friends and Employers like Harvey are few in life and it is with a heavy heart that I also grieve with you.
