Harvey and I were friends in high school, both of us in band, jazz band and pep band. We both went to jazz band clinic in Shell Lake before our senior year. Harvey's passing is sad news.

He was a good friend while in High School and MIT (I did not see him a lot at MIT. ) We both went to MIT but I moved to CA for graduate school.

Was always fun to visit Harvey Wright at his house. He had so many projects which he continued to build over time, and was so well known while in high school. Unfortunately, I lost contact \ lost track of him when he moved back to South Milwaukee, WI. We did play a lot of sheepshead at Harvey Wright's house!

Had many great friends from our high school days and Harvey was one of the best. Very smart, personable and a great sense of humor ("Put it down, Atlas" per L.T. Those close will remember.) Wish we could have maintained contact, but that's not the way life always works. You will be missed by the old sheepshead gang and all who knew you.

Had some great friends from our high school days and Harvey was one of the best. Very smart, personable with a great sense of humor ("Put it down, Atlas" per L.T. Those close will remember!) Wish we could have maintained contact, but, sadly, that's not the way life works at times. Good friends and good times, Harv; we won't forget.

This is a sad day indeed. I remember Harvey as a good friend with a positive and humorous outlook - and a great Sheepshead player. A few of us will still remember him as Rusty as well.

He was a good friend with a fine sense of humor. I am sad that we fell out of touch after college.
