Honoring his wishes, there will be no formal funeral or service. A small family gathering will be held at a later date for inurnment.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to KC Hospice House in honor of Harvey’s memory.

Though he is no longer with us, Harvey’s love will live on in the hearts of those he held dear.
