HARVEY SCHILLER Obituary

SCHILLER--Harvey M, 90 passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, April 16, beloved by his wife of 61 years Martha Berstein Schiller, who helped run their business the Schiller Printery, by his daughter Kathi, his son Robert, his grandchildren Zak, Mina, and Sahm, brother Roland, and daughter-in-law Niloufar Gidfar.

oddly, I just started making Martha's cabbage soup an hour ago, giving up on it being May and and still NOT spring, when I got an email from Andrea who had just read abt Harvey's passing in he NYT. I will always remember him with affection and always have a visual of him getting every last crumb off the counter. Love and hugs to Martha, Kathi and Robert xoxoxo Debra Simon
