I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Harvey briefly at MJH before his diagnosis. He was a true Family Doctor. I feel priviledged to have worked professionally with him.

Eight years ago Dr Laub successfully helped me through a very difficult time in my life. After being away since then and now returned to Crozet, both my wife and I are saddened to learn of his passing. Even in the brief time we knew him, he impressed us greatly with his kindness and compassion. Our sympathy and happy memories go to all his family and friends.

I first met Harvey when he was in attendance to Susan who was on bedrest with pregnancy. He asked more questions than anyone I can remember! His hair seemed to get wilder and wilder as his eyes widen with answers to his questions regarding his dear Susan. Later I had the privilege of working in sister practices as an NP, sitting next to Harvey at our PSG meetings, asking questions and presenting the most intriquing case studies. He truly was a gift to this earth. He appreciated life and treated it with respect. I am sorry to have missed his Memorial as I was tending to my first grandbaby in Boston. I just want to thank you, Harvey, for the memories of love, care, kindness, compassion and your inquisitiveness in life and delight in family.

Dr. Laub was the best family doctor we ever had! As a diagnostician, we have found none better. He brought members of our family through some very difficult times. He listened and was not afraid to say he didn't know. But if he couldn't figure out your physical problem, he researched it until he found the answer. We miss him greatly, but our loss does not compare to yours and please know that we will keep your family in our prayers for months to come.

Harvey was a good friend and a concerned healer. He took care of our family for many years and is missed everyday. I pray the Grace of God over his family and look forward to seeing him again.

Harvey took care of my husband and me, our sons, my parents, and various aunts and uncles with a warmth and humanity often rare in the professional world. I most valued his willingness to argue points of alternative medicine, and I will always appreciate his respect for my opinion. We will feel his loss for years to come, and are thankful for the time we were given to share with him.

Dear Susan,
I'm so sorry to hear of Harvey's passing. He has been on my mind daily this month -- so many memories of his leadership at Blue Ridge Medical Center. He shaped the heart and soul of the Center in its early years. I will never forget him -- the impression he left in this world is one of great goodness, service and love. His passing is a tremendous loss due to his early departure. All who knew him will know that a person of great value walked here and we are better for having shared a bit of his life.
God bless,

Hi Susan,
We’ve never met but I wanted to share what an important part of our lives Havey played in the few years we knew him. I’d searched for a family physician for a couple of years and by chance found Harvey when one of the other physicians at Crozet Family was unavailable. He has such an immediate connection with people and I knew the search was over. Like many of the other patients who have written about him, he always made me feel like he had unlimited time for my small problems. I shared my experiences with my wife and children and soon the whole family was seeing Harvey. While he is a fabulous clinician I think his ability to connect with people and to make them feel like they are important to him are his greatest strengths. He continues to be a gift we’ll cherish and think off every day. I wish I would have told him the last time I saw him.

Dear Susan, Leo, Taylor, and Hannah,
I remember when we first met and the boys were so young. You and Harvey had just moved into the Charlottesville area. Harvey later became our family physician.
I was always delighted to hear Harvey share about you all, his family. He was delighted with you. My family and I always felt so cared for in his capable capacity as healer and comforter.
He will be missed greatly, but more so CELEBRATED for the time he was here and the joy and comfort he gave to those who knew him. I'm glad I knew him.

The time I spent working with Harvey were the best years of my life. There was never a boring day! Harvey, Thank you so much for teaching me the little things in medicine that truly make a difference.
I cried for your family, and now I cry for me. I shall miss your hugs, kind words and quirky looks. Take care my dear friend.

Having known Harvey as a physician and a musician, I will always remember his great enthusuasm for life, for people, his family, and his endless energy to contribute everything he could to all he undertook. As a physician, he made me feel cared for, as if I was the only patient he had. I know many people who feel the same way. When Harvey played his keyboard, he did it with passion! What an amazing human being. He will be sorely missed. I send my deepest sympathy to his family.

Dear Susan and family,
The world is a sadder place without Harvey. I grew up with Harvey in Norfolk. Lance, Lonnie, Doug, Harvey and I had many classic moments. Mostly due to Harvey's wit, laugh, ,ingenuity, and mischief. While I haven't seen Harvey in many years and lost touch, I would receive news of Harvey's successes from time to time from others.
He taught us about life and friends. Our teenage years would not have been the same without Harvey. I would not be the same person. My sincerest condolences to his immediate family. A true loss for humanity.

Susan and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. While I did not know Harvey well, I will always remember his generous willingness to help out with whatever was needed for the summer swim team. I did not realize that he was a fellow Emory alum. I am thinking of you in your loss and hope that you may find some peace in knowing that so many people have been touched by his life.

My family and I are so saddened to hear of Harvey's untimely passing. I will always remember how kind, witty and encouraging he always was, especially as I was pursuing my dream of becoming a physician like him. He was loved and will always have a warm spot in all of our hearts.

Dear Susan: My daughter Karen notified me of Harvey's passing. I am so sorry to learn of this. Besides having a great medical relationship with Harvey, I considered him a friend. We would often talk about things unrelated to medicine. It was always a lively and interesting discussion. You will be in our prayers.

Dear Susan,
I went to Lake Taylor with Harvey and haven't seen him since we were 18, but it seems that the funny friend I knew just grew to share his joyful nature with a larger world. He always knew how to make everyday situations so much fun and I can only imagine the depth of your loss. My love to your whole family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and freinds. Harv was a great person and a great doctor. He will always be in my heart. He touched many people at Crozet Family Medicine, not only as a doctor but as a co-worker and friend. There are many stories to be told about the "good days". Crozet Family Medicine will always have a void without him.

Harvey was the best doctor that anyone could have. He truly cared for his patients on a level that most doctors do not take or have to time to do. When you came into the office he always had a smile. No matter how bad you felt the smile on his face and the caring in his eyes made you feel things are going to get better soon. He was a tremendous asset to our community and Crozet Family Medicine. He will be missed.

I can still see Harvey coming in the examining room, always a smile on his face, and a few words to cheer you up even if the news was not good, He was always honest and up front, and always encouraging. I have missed him since he left the office, it not quite the same nor will it ever be, we have lost a wonderful person, he has been missed and will always be missed by us who loved him. My sympathy goes out to the family and friends. We can only hope that one day we will meet up with him again!

To the family:
I knew of Dr Laub, but didn't really know him until about 2 years ago and immediately I felt a connection with him and his wife. He always had a smile even when he was at his lowest. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. He was a great man. I will miss seeing him, but I am reassured by the fact that he is not suffering anymore. It was a pleasure to know him.

Losing Dr. Laub is a loss for the entire community of Crozet. Soon after moving to Crozet, he saw our four year old daughter for the first time. She was timid about seeing a different doctor, but I'll never forget the care and attention he showed her, making her feel completely at ease. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Harvey is one of my oldest friends, and along with my friend Stephen also from childhood, the best friend I ever had. My memories are full of the passion and music and laughter and madness that personify two young guys who brought out more inspiration and creativity in each other than any one person has ever done since. That was a long time ago, and Harvey's most beautiful legacy is his family and his children who are as wide eyed and vital as any young people could be - except for US of course!! My past days and nights spent sympathizing for them is shared by my family who also loved him so deeply and for so many years - my brother Roy, my mother Natalie, my sister Lisa, my partner Guy, and that other best friend, Stephen Furst. We send all our love and warmth and best wishes to BOTH of the beautiful Susans in Harvey's life, as well as to Hannah and Taylor, who it is my privilege to know; and to Leo, who I haven't met yet but who I hope will be a soulmate in my life close to that of his Dad. Harvey's spirit is more present than ever. For that, and for his peace I am grateful. But the love we shared in this lifetime, I am forever blessed.
Love.
