I have been thinking of your family many times since Harvey was a patient on 5D3. Our staff was deeply touched with your words of gratitude to 5d3 and your wish for donations to be made to 5d3. we were all deeply touched.Today you all came to my mind again, and I couldn't rest until I found Harvey's obituary. At the time it first appeared in the journal I cut it out to take to work to show the staff, and someone else already cut it it out and brought it to work. You are a special family. So now I finally found Larry's obituary on the internet. I was so surprised to find the picture that I took of Larry and his son. I remember you very well Theresa, as you are a special lady, I always felt your warmth and softness.and pain.
From a grateful Nurse.

I had just learned of Harvey's passing today and was deeply saddened to hear of this. I dealt with Harvey when he was at Rona. He was such a kind man who was always so helpful. I will miss him very much and send condolences to his family and friends who have lost such a great person.
We will be praying for you and your family, so sorry for your loss, Theresa.

Dear Theresa,
We have experienced much joy in the union of the Laird and Rittman families, a union in which Harvey played a big part and will be very much missed. We will remember his laughter, his voice in conversation at the dinner table, and his hugs and graciousness in leaving. Though he has taken his final departure, we will hold him dearly in memory.
Our love to you, Darren and Jessi, Rick and Shawna, Carson, Colby, Kendra, Calum, and Nieve, and Eloise and all of the family.
Joan and Alan

Harvey - I will miss you big guy. You taught me so much while working together for all those years. It was a pleasure indeed. You were there for me when my brother died and I know you too are at peace. We miss you.

I am very glad that I visited Harvey before Christmas. The reason I went out of my way to visit him is because of the kind of person he was. He was such a special person and great professional to work with. His memory will live on forever. I will always use what I learned from him especially on how you should treat people. Harvey showed that every day. He also was a superstar in our industry. He will be missed very much.

Harvey Laird Family, Although I do not know any of you, I was very fortunate to have dealt with Harvey many times at the Revy store in my capacity as product salesperson. He was a true gentleman in every respect and will certainly be missed by all that knew him. I wish you strength to handle everything in the future and know my prayers are coming your way.
