Family Members:

Harvey lived a full and wonderful life. A devoted Detroit Tigers fan, he attended Fantasy Camp for many years and cherished the friendships and memories made along the way. Music was always close to his heart; he could often be found tapping his foot to the Glenn Miller Orchestra and maintaining lifelong friendships with former and current band leaders and members.

He had a wonderful sense of humor, and was a natural comedian and storyteller who never met a microphone that wasn't his. He was also a true movie enthusiast—he knew films inside and out and could quote just about any movie, often bringing a favorite line to life at exactly the right moment. A dedicated podiatrist, he built and ran a successful practice where he was able to connect with patients from around the community for many years.

Above all, he will be remembered as a loving family man, a devoted friend, and someone whose humor and zest for life brought joy to everyone around him.
