I have fond memories of Harvey from my childhood. I recall his sense of humor and genuine personality. I can recall an occasion in the Nagle kitchen when Harvey declared that he had a hope to live until the 21st century. I am glad that he realized this hope. My thoughts are with the Nagle family.

I want to express my condolences to the Nagle family. When my children were small, my husband and I decided the best way for me to be a stay-at-home mom while contributing financially to our family, would be for me to waitress evenings. I had no experience, but Mr. Nagle hired me to waitress at HB Nagles, and I have to say, it was just about the most fun I ever had while working. Harvey made the job enjoyable with his funny sense of humor--treated us like we were his kids. He was a lovely man...sincere wishes of sympathy to Blanche and his children/grandchildren.
