Dad update: We stayed with him over the night. Mom left to shower and when she got back, I left. Jeff and I got to the hospital and he opened his eyes a bit and got goosebumps on his arms and then just stopped breathing. It was very peaceful. And just like dad to wait for us to get back...selfless even in death. We don't have a date, but we will be having one big party to celebrate Harv. Again, I will never be able to express how much your support has meant. Thank you! XO

Please, although we deeply appreciate your thoughts please do not send flowers or food. We are working on setting up a donation in honor of dad. Thanks!
I like to share something I readed in Andrea page abouth Harv.
This is Harv: by Elizabeth Coyle
"The Successful Life"
To laugh often and love much. To win and hold the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of little children. To earn the approval of honest critics and to endure without flinching the betrayal of false friends.
To appreciate beauty always, whether in earth’s creations or men and women’s handiwork. To have sought for and found the best in others, and to have given it oneself. To leave the world better than one found it, whether by nurturing a child or garden patch, writing a cheery letter, or working to redeem some social condition.
To have played with enthusiasm, laughed with exuberance, and sung with exultation; to go down to dust and dreams knowing the world is a little bit better, and even a single life breathes easier because we have lived well, that is to have succeeded.
He was the best friend a tuba player could it have. He will be miss!!!
