Harvey had 2 children, Ryan (stepson) and Jonathan. He had a small collection of classic cars including two ferrari’s, a 60’s Camaro muscle car and loved his weekend rides on his Harley.
He was a rep for a surgical instrument company and was a detailed, diligent and professional rep whose clients relied upon for his expertise. Harvey’s wife, Denise, was the true love of his life and they were a great duo. Her death from cancer was devastating and Harvey was heartbroken. He was tragically killed just six months after Denise when he was struck by a car while jogging near his home.
Harvey was a loving father, a devoted and loving husband. He was “my brother from another mother”. We were best friends and “brothers” since we were 6 years old. Harvey was a compulsive worker and I always teased him that he was always saving and never spending. Our plans for growing old as best friends were to do all the stuff he was putting off. Whenever I am off on another adventure in my life, I always think that Harvey would have enjoyed doing/seeing this. That is why I say I will miss my best friend the rest of my life.

So glad that both he & his wife got to attend one of our earlier reunions. It was great catching up with him.

He was a good one.
He was a "classy guy" and so missed
