My memories of Cousin Harvey go way back to my childhood. He was my grandmother Lena (Silverstein) DuBrier's nephew, and I fondly remember Uncle Joe and Aunt Sarah, and spending time with them, Harvey and Roland when they would come visit, or at Passover seders and other family occasions.

Harvey was very much a family man, and I remember him initiating family reunions to try to pull us all together as we all wrapped up in our separate lives. I loved his sharp wit and intelligence! I feel terrible that I haven't kept in contact as I should have. It's been a little over a year since I last saw him, at my sister April's funeral. He used to remark how sad it was that we only got together at weddings and funerals. God bless this good man and his legacy. Susan, please accept my love and condolences on your loss.
