I feel really blessed to have known Harvey and Rica for the last 14 years. I met them when I took over their former dentist's practice, and they welcomed me with open arms. Harvey always tested my knowledge of the newest advances in dentistry and helped make me a better and more knowledgeable dentist. I always got excited to see them in my schedule. They reminded me so much of my family growing up, that it felt like a family reunion when they arrived. I will surely miss seeing and talking with Harvey, but my memories of him, and his voice of reason and encouragement, will never die.

Harvey Spivack was a friend and an inspiration. The deep sadness of his passing says that this world will not be the same without him. We love Harvey for what we brought us in kindness, wisdom, optimism, joy and most of all his true friendship. For Carol and myself, Harvey was a major part of our lives and we will always miss him. Love to Rica for our the years ahead. Carol and Harley Brown
