Very sad to hear Harvey's passing. Good friends and U. S. Army buddies. Pinochle and wiffle ball partners. In the Army everything is done alphabetically. Look at our name's spelling and you can see we spent time together. Rest in Peace Harvey.

Deeply saddened to learn of Harvey´s passing. I worked with Harvey at EMC Technology. It was a pleasure to be around him. Harvey enjoyed a good laugh, but never forgot the work came first. My favorite memory: the birthday card ("subpoena") caper. Still makes me laugh!
Harvey joins a long and distinguished list of EMC alum who have crossed over. I was wondering recently if there is laughter in Heaven. Harvey may have just handed me the answer: "OH, YEAH"!
To Harvey´s family, May you find great comfort in warm memories and may the Lord of all consolation grant you His Peace,
And, to Harvey, Fly high, buddy!
