HARVEY FORMAN, AGE 81, OF SOUTHBURY DIED ON DECEMBER 13, 2020 FROM THE COMPLICATIONS OF ALZHEIMER'S AND COVID PNEUMONIA.  HARVEY WAS PREDECEASED BY HIS PARENTS SAM AND PAULINE (STERN) FORMAN AND HIS BROTHER PHILIP.

HARVEY WAS BORN IN NEW YORK CITY IN 1939. HE IS SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE, CAROL AND HIS DAUGHTERS JUDITH AND DEBORAH, HER HUSBAND CHARLIE AND THREE PRECIOUS GRANDSONS: AARON, MATTHEW AND NOAH. HARVEY IS ALSO SURVIVED BY HIS SIBLINGS: BARRY, CHERYLL AND BONNIE

HARVEY WAS KNOWN FOR HIS GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. WITH A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE, HE PAINTED "I LOVE YOU CAROL" ON THE CEILING OF THEIR BEDROOM IN MANHATTAN, FOR WHICH HE GOT A LOT OF MILEAGE OVER THE YEARS!

HARVEY'S TWO DAUGHTERS, JUDITH AND DEBORAH WERE HIS GREATEST PASSION IN LIFE, HIS DEVOTION TO BEING A FATHER, A HUSBAND, A GRANDFATHER AND A BROTHER WAS HIS REASON FOR BEING.

HARVEY LOVED SPORTS, ESPECIALLY GOLF, THE YANKEES, THE KNICKS AND THE JETS. HARVEY'S HOBBY WAS PHOTOGRAPHY. HE HAD A SHOWING OF HIS WORK, WHICH GOT WONDERFUL REVIEWS, AT THE SOUTHBURY LIBRARY THE YEAR AFTER THE NEW LIBRARY OPENED. HE ALSO HAD BOOTHS AT MANY CRAFT FAIRS IN THE AREA WHERE HE SOLD FRAMED IMAGES AND GREETING CARDS THAT HE MADE FROM HIS PHOTOS.

HARVEY WAS A SALES EXECUTIVE FOR A NEW YORK CITY PRINTING COMPANY. WHEN ANYBODY ASKED HARVEY WHAT HE DID FOR A LIVING, HARVEY WOULD ANSWER WITH PRIDE AND ANOTHER TWINKLE IN HIS EYE: "I AM J.A.S." (JUST A SALESMAN)

WHENEVER ANYONE GOT SICK HARVEY WOULD SAY (QUOTING HIS FAVORITE COMEDIAN, MEL BROOKS,) "EAT A CLOVE OF GARLIC BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP, IT WILL KEEP AWAY THE ANGEL OF DEATH"- ON DECEMBER 13TH, 2020 HARVEY RAN OUT OF GARLIC.

ONCE THE PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS ON HUGGING AND TOUCHING EACH OTHER ARE LIFTED, THERE WILL BE A GATHERING TO REMEMBER HARVEY. IN LIEU OF FLOWERS THE FAMILY ASKS YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER A DONATION TO ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH OR ANY CHARITY TO FEED THE HOMELESS IN YOUR AREA.
