Harvey and his wife Grace came to Global Gathering Place (GGP) as volunteers over twenty years ago.
They opened their hearts and home to our cause, hosting warm celebrations for our refugee and immigrant clients. The connections they made at these gatherings led to lifelong mentorships and genuine friendships. After Grace passed away in 2009, Harvey continued to faithfully attend our weekly Coffee and Conversation program. Every week, he shared laughs and life experiences with our newcomer clients. He was known in our office as a very kind, thoughtful, and cheerful man who formed close bonds with many isolated newcomers over the decades.
In recent years, he stayed connected with our organization as a loyal member and donor. The emails he sent with silly jokes or clever puzzles never failed to brighten our busy workdays.
Our sincere condolences to Harvey's family. He will be very fondly remembered by many staff, volunteers, and clients at GGP.
