Harvey was indeed a fine man..he will be missed greatly. My late husband, Paul, and I met Harvey in the late Sixties when we dating. Our friendship was a lasting one..weddings, children, poker nights and all other matters of celebration. We could always count on Harvey to be there and share in our lives. My deepest condolences to the Borkin family...know that he was loved by many. Trudy Lombardi
