Harlan Kravitz Obituary

I worked with Harlan during most of his 25 years at Abbott and I considered him to be a friend rather than just a coworker. Most people who knew Harlan felt this way and he will be deeply missed.

Dear Betty and family

I was so saddened to hear of the recent passing of Harlan. I was treated like family in your home. Harlan and you treated me with warmth and kindness that will always be appreciated and always be remembered. Harlan was always there for friends and family. He will remain in my heart and prayers forever. Your loving friend,

Linda Gross

Betty,Carolyn,Candace,and your familes.

Words can't express the sorrow I feel over the passing of Harlan.

Thank-you Betty, for bringing your soul-mate Harlan into our family 40

years ago. We will always be proud to call him our cousin.

We will miss him dearly.



love, Nancy

We are saddened by the news of Harlan's passing. We were great friends at Roosevelt and spent lots of quality time together. He will be missed.

Betty, Candace and Carolyn,

Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with you during this difficult time and always.

Dear Betty and Family;



Although I haven't been with the group for some time, Harlan was always warm and friendly. He made me feel good just being around him. I am very sorry for your loss. You may take comfort in knowing that Harlan will live long in all of our memories.

Betty, Candice, and Carolyn

My sincerest condolences to you and your family. I remember all the years living across the street-Harlan was a wonderful man.

Dear Betty:

I am stunned and saddened by the news of Harlan's death and your loss. At our elementary school reunion I really had a chance to reconnect with him and to meet you. Harlan was so gracious, homey, fun and funny, and every bone in his body seemed to be warm and honest. He pitched in and actually led the way. I will truly miss him. I will take pleasure in treasuring the pictures of him that I have from that event. It'll seem strange not to receive an email from him with a cartoon attached or some fun-type thing to read. I wish you the best, but know that you'll have wonderful memories.

Fondly, Merle (Myerson) Tokarsky [email protected]

Dear Betty & Family,

Like everyone else, I was shocked to hear the sad news. So many fond memories come to mind, from Bateman through Roosevelt, and then after so many years, having had such a wonderful time with Harlan & Betty at the Bateman reunion weekend. My condolences to your family for this tragedy in your lives and for the loss we all are feeling.

Our deepest condolences

Dear Betty and Family,



We were saddened to hear of the death of Harlan. Way too fast and way too young. My sister, Joan Kirschner, is still devasted and in disbelief. She felt so badly not to be able to see you right away and your family. Heartfelt sympathy to all of you. Betty, I hope I can bring Joan to the Long Grove donut shop just to see you briefly and give you two a chance to kibitz. With love to all of you at this sad and difficult time.



Love,



Ted and Betty Gordon

Dear Betty,Candace,Carolyn and Family, I am so sorry this happened. Harlan was a favorite person of mine and I will remember him fondly as will many people. I know how much he loved his family and how proud he was of his girls,and Alexander, and Carter. He enjoyed his life and helped others enjoy theirs. I am very sad today.

Love to you all, Laura Michele

My deepest condolences. I was totally shocked when my mother told me the news. I always considered Esther my second mother. My heart goes out to her, Betty and her daughters and David.



My deepest sympathy,



Sharon

I had worked with Harlan on many projects at Abbott. He was a sincere "people person" who always cared about his coworkers. His warmth and caring will be sorely missed.

Betty and family,

Jim and I are both sad about Harlan. He was such a nice person who everyone loved. Jim thought so much of Harlan. I am so sorry! I will pray for you and you will be in our thoughts. So sorry we have lost contact since we have moved. Would like to have your home address. With love and God Bless, Judy and Jim Maurer

Betty, Candice, and Carolyn,

I cannot tell you what a shock and what a void I now have in my life. Harlan was family to me, infact closer than my brothers. We shared laughs, problems with life, and confidences with each other out of love and respect. I miss him now, even though this tragedy has not yet fully impacted me. I thank you so much for the honor of allowing me to be a pall bearer. Now and always, Love, David

Harlan was my locker partner and good friend throughout our four years at Roosevelt High School. I always appreciated his positive attitude. My condolences to the family....

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the your family at this time.

Harlan was a great man and I will miss him. I will remember him fondly. I wish I had better words to describe the feelings that I know that I share with many others who were also friends to Harlan. My condolences are extended to his family.

We are so very sorry to hear about your loss. Harlan was a warm and friendly person who will be greatly missed.

Words simply cannot express our deepest sympathies for this untimley death. He was a friend to all who knew him

Harlan always had a joke and a smile for the friends of his daughter Carolyn. He was fun to be around and we will miss him at the Stein gatherings. We are truly sadden by your loss and will keep him and his family in our prayers.
