Condolences to Harvey's family and current friends. I attended dances with Harvey in Boston in the early 1960's. He was always a gentleman and was a great friend and dancer.

To Harvey J. Trask's family. I was shocked to hear of Harvey's passing. I did typing for him for many, many years. I always looked forward to having him call to have me change a will or do other typing for him. When he would arrive, he always had a funny story to tell me and my husband. He will be sadly missed. RIP Harvey J. Trask.

I will forever be grateful to Harvey for the love and kindness he showed to my son, Jeff over the past twenty years. Jeff and Harvey spent many happy hours together maintaining and improving the farms in Upton where Harvey lived and in Mendon, where Jeff has lived since he met Harvey all those many years ago. They both deeply loved, enjoyed and cared for the farms together. On several occasions, I thanked Harvey for the kindness, fondness and companionship he gave my son. His answer would be: "Jeff has done just as much for me. We help each other." Godspeed and rest in peace dear Harvey.
With much love and gratitude, Deb Peters

I pray for God's continuing blessings for Harvey and for his friends and family. I will remember his giving acts of friendship and grace, without which I would not have felt so happy during my time in Boston and at the UBC. Harvey will hold a special place in my heart.

Very sorry to hear this news. I hadn't seen Harvey in years, but do remember him well from a social group we were members of. Good guy.
I will be unable to attend the visitation and service, but send my sincere condolences to his family.

So sorry to hear of his passing.
Harvey is family to us.
My husband Anthony (who has passed also) where very close and didn't go a day without talking or working together.
They had a bond as a father and son relationship. I miss them both so much.
God Bless you Harvey
