Going back and reading these memories of my Dad is really wonderful. Thank you to everyone who commented.  
Our God is truly an Awesome God!

Mr. Williams was my all-time favorite teacher and role model. He gained the respect of his students and made learning meaningful and enjoyable. To this day I remember the "ologies" and bones of the body he taught us in 8th grade science, Shakespeare in senior English, and wise advice from him as a counselor. I've had many teachers and known many more from my own role as a teacher, but none surpassed Mr. Williams. He impacted many people in a most amazing way that will never be forgotten. To his family I extend my most sincere condolences. You are so fortunate to have had such a remarkable father. May his greatness impel you to follow his standards and make the most of your lives.

Dear Friends of Harvey Williams,
Thank you all for your entries and kind comments about our father.  Your insights confirm the impressions we as family members had of our father.  Your remembrences and insights show the affection and impact that our dad had outside of the family.  

I will miss the get togethers we had with his circle of friends from school, church, breakfast clubs, hobbies, fishing, and retirement groups.  If you were able to talk with my dad recently you know he was longing to go to his home and be with his Lord.  He has now achieved his goal and we are comforted by that fact. 

 I wish us all the best as we continue our journeys and face our challanges.  My dad's guidance and advice will continue to help me get through these and I hope you will continue to benefit from them as well.

Mr. Williams was my high school teacher and he was such a special man. He always was kind, friendly and funny. He made high school really fun. He was a great role model for all of us. I am praying for all of your family.

Harvey was a good friend of my dad, Howard Vieth, for many years, first as a coworker at North High School and than as comember of various breakfast groups.  Dad always held Harvey and Charlotte in high regard and enjoyed spending time with them.  My sympathy goes out to the family.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family of Harvey Williams.  I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Williams in 8th grade and he became one of my favorite, most memorable, and unique teachers ever.  He inspired me to become a fellow educator and counselor.  I had the further great fortune to work with him as a fellow counselor and peer in the Sheboygan school sytem.  He was a mentor, a rare individual, a wonderful caring person with extraordinary insights.  Harvey had uncanny perceptions, deep and abiding beliefs, and values he lived.  I know he touched many lives.  I feel blessed he touched mine.

Sorry  to learn of Harvey's passing.  I enjoyed many trips with him to summer school in  1961 while on our way to UW-Milwaukee.    He will be missed by many people.

Dear Family of Mr. Williams, I certainly do express my sympathy for his departure.  We enjoyed your friendshiip at Calvin church in Sheboygan a great deal.  I am doing fine in Townsend, Wi.  Love to all , Janet Sauer

Dorann, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. God is good and knowing that your father is no longer alone, is comforting.

My deepest sympathy to your family.  Mr. Williams was my favorite teacher and I was lucky to have him in both 8th grade and senior year.  He inspired me to become a teacher and I just retired after 32 years. He touched many lives and will be missed.

I had Mr. Williams as a teacher in the late 60's.  He was one of the best teachers I ever had and made a lasting impression on me.  He made learning interesting and fun.  My sincere sympathy to his family.  I am sure they will miss him along with many others he touched during his lifetime.

I was fortunate to have Mr. Williams as my main 8th grade teacher and then again as my senior English teacher in Oostburg. He was tremendous in the classroom and provided me some good personal help on multiple occasions.

Dear Forrest, Gail, Dorann, Nick & Susan,
We want to express our heartfelt condolences to you and your families in your time of loss.  We are however celebrating your father's well lived life and are assured of the celebration that is going on in heaven.

Your parent's faith was a wonderful example to me.  I will not forget the memories of visiting at the house and our July 4ths in Oostburg together.  Always such good times, with lots of laughs and great discussions around the table.  Joyful to know he lives victoriously in His arms!
Love & prayers,
Cousin Cheryl & Tom
