Our deepest sympathy to Mary and David for their loss for the second time. We remember other times in Glenview (and Sunday School at Rugen School) before your life took such a different turn. I am so happy that I visited you in Naples this past season and that my memory of Harvey as a gracious host, showing me your paintings and his office, will be a lasting one. ELAINE

On behalf of the Charles Smith family in Cleveland, we want to express the true sense of loss we felt when we heard about Harvey's sudden death. We fondly remember being the "around the corner neighbors in Shaker Heights"! He left an imprint on this earth that few can live up to and one that many can feel due to his absence. We send our sincere condolences to Mary, David, Brad, Scott and their families.

My heart felt sympathy to the family of Harvey Kapnick. Although I did not know Mr. Kapnick personally, I feel the sad sense of loss having worked with his son, Brad, for many years. It is quite obvious he was a remarkable man in this world and now in the Heavens. First and foremost, he was a Dad and a Grandfather, and I pray with you.
