To All Concerned,=20
It is with great sorrow that I must relay to you the death of Lou = Harvey C.O. last Friday morning.
He died at home surrounded by his wife and family. The field of = Orthotics has lost a gentle,humble giant of=20 a man. He was part innovative artisan, part Will Rodgers. In the ten = plus years that I had the pleasure of working with him, I never saw an = orthotic intervention that he could not resolve. And yet, no one ever = made a better beanie-weanie bazooka that could fire a projectile farther = than his. He could coax reluctant teens into wearing their scoliosis =
braces: loud , hyperactive C.P. kids were just “…busy….with places = to go, people to see.”.
Little old ladies would ask for the man who looks like Grizzly Adams = when they couldn’t remember his name.=20 His response to the strange and bizarre , “Everyone’s gotta have a = hobby.”.
Perhaps it was best said recently by one of Lou’s former associates, “It = was an honor to be considered his=20 friend.” For many of us who knew him, we lost our best friend.
To all of you who have contributed to the, ‘Lou and Sharon Harvey = Special Fund’ and or passed along your thoughts and prayers, please = accept my heart felt thanks. If you were considering a contribution, = please do.
This account at the Bank Of Hawaii was established to not only pay for = his medical expenses, but to also help his spouse, Sharon cope with expenses that any passing brings. If you = have any questions about the account,please feel free to contact me . = God bless you all for your help in this matter.
Sincerely,
Bob Laver CPO
P.S. Lou….I’ll see yah on down the road.
