Dad was my hero and mentor. He was respectful, kind and generous in spirit and will be missed by many.
He loved our mother with the deepest passion as well as his children, their spouses, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
He showed imagination and creativity in his command as an iron smith. I will always be proud that he was my father and the legacy he left.

I was blessed to know Harvey. He was kind, generous, and a lover of music. I was so happy to be able to play some of his favorites each time he came to the Elks Lodge. "San Antonio Rose" will forever live in my memory as one of those songs he loved to hear.
My thoughts are with Patti & Jack, who I also know and love. My prayers are with you.
God Bless!

I was saddened to learn of Harvey's passing. I knew him when we were employed at Life Investors many years ago. He was always very helpful, very pleasant and very much a gentleman. A man of distinction, I think everyone one in the entire building benefited from Harvey's perpetual smile and friendly nature. He will be missed by many. May God bring you peace and comfort.

It is an honor to have known Harvey. I lived next door to him as a kid. He was always so kind to us. A teacher, story-teller, and one of the hardest-working, talented people I've ever known. I loved hearing stories about Cedar Rapids when he was a kid. Once he invited me in to his home and I saw he had a money tree-I thought that was the coolest thing I'd ever seen! He was gentle and kind and made my childhood better. The world is better for having had him in it. I am glad you are at rest Harvey and look forward to seeing you again for more stories!
