I am sad to say it, but a few months ago, Harvey passed away. If I had known this article would be published so close to his death, I might have tried to be more heavy-handed in my appreciation for the man.

He was hard-working and honest and hilarious. He saw the world in a unique way, a way that is becoming extinct in most places, and he held himself with no apologies. He was the closest thing to R.P. McMurphy I have known: a man who stood apart from The Combine and invited us all to jump out the window and live free from invisible rules made by invisible people.

I’ll miss Old Harv.

Well written. The reader was left with a true vision of “Harvey.” Every soul has a story. I enjoyed this read.

I think I might like Harvey; I printed a copy to take home & read.
Consequently, once I finish it….well. Who knows? I’ll get back with you guys.

“Most people operate under a system of Whatever-Works-For-You values and mores. This allows for open thought, but it also gives most people the privilege to never be wrong, even more than the opposite system allows some people to always be right.”

This single statement says so very much! Thanks for a beautiful and clever piece of writing.
