I didn’t realize that this page was up, but it’s so touching to see these beautiful messages.

My father was so many remarkable things, but he was also humble, so you had to probe to find out just how many remarkable things he was. 

He was a teacher at his core. From Columbus High School in his 20s to his online coursework as recently as this year, the joy he found in teaching was unmatched.

He was a published author, with timeless stories to tell. His story “An Ice-Cream Soda and a Beer” published in Sky and Telescope Magazine, September, 1999 is a cherished favorite. I’ve cried every time I’ve read it. I imagine I always will.

He was a New Yorker. He would never say a bad word about pizza in another state, but he was a regular at his local joint. He knew the tiny place in Chinatown that only insiders know about, but he’d take you there in a second. He was THAT kind of New Yorker.

He was a dear friend to so many. I hope to meet those of you I haven’t yet someday. He loved and spoke of you often, with tremendous respect and admiration.

He was a brother, uncle, father, grandfather, and grand “paw”. He was indescribably loved, and he is so very missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Jackie! I love you and am thinking about you!

Stuart and Harvey were the closest of brothers

Harvey was a beloved family member, friend, educator and mentor to many.   He will be missed.

The Singer Family

I knew Harv for many years. I remember Harv when he was riding a bike in Florida.  He was my friend and mentor. We lived in different locations but we wrote every day.  Harv provided lots of helpful advice that made a positive difference in my teaching career.  Additionally, we shared the love of nature.  Harv was a fantastic photographer and I am fortunate to have lots of his digital photos.   Harv and I also shared a love of music. He introduced me to Leonard Cohen and sent me several of his CDs.  We had a rich and deep friendship and I will miss him. My condolences to his brother, his sister-in-law, and his daughter.
