Enjoyed Dr. Salkin, many lessons, and perspective learned from him.  Does anyone have his 'life lessons' that he would handout at the beginning of each class?  Those were priceless, and something we should all be reminded of...  feel free to email me at swglaros@gmail.com.  God bless.

My deepest sympathies to the Salkin family for their great loss.  I worked as Harvey's Assistant at the Weatherhead School of Management from 1991 to 1994.  We continued to remain in touch throughout the years through Christmas cards and I was always glad to hear the family was well.  He was always a professional, pleasant, kind, generous man and adored his family.   I am deeply saddened for Laura, John and Randy.   Much love and support is sent your way.   ~Michelle (Bolin) Casto

Dear Laura, Michael & I and the Assofsky family are so sad to hear of Harvey's passing.  Our heart goes out to you and your family at this very difficult time.  You are and will continue to be in our thoughts.  Michael and I are so very thankful for the time we had with Harvey at our wedding.

He will be greatly missed by many and I know he was such a dear friend to Marvin.  We are so deeply sorry for your loss Laura. You are in our prayers.

Harvey and I were colleagues from 1969 to 1975 when I left for UT Dallas, 
Harvey was a gentleman at all times and I will miss him.

I worked for Professor Salkin at Weatherhead. He's a very kind and knowledgeable person. I enjoyed his lectures, his jokes and working for him. I'll always remember Professor Salkin.

Laura, Jon and Randy,

I feel very sorry to hear that Harvey passed away.  I owe Harvey very much for the fact that I could spend a happy life as a professor of operations research.  Thanks Harvey.

Dear Laura,
If one were looking for an example to lead ones life by,  you would be hard pressed to find one better than Harvey. This world lost a great deal with his passing. A better friend could not be found. He will be missed sorely by everyone who knew him. Our deepest of sympathies.

Sorry to hear of Harvey passing away.  I worked him several years ago at CWRU Operations Research Dept.  I will never forget his funny jokes and how much the students enjoyed him as their professor.

Laura, Jon and Randy;

I am so very sorry for your loss.  Dr. Salkin was my favorite professor while I was at Weatherhead.  I still have and refer to ALL of his thoughtful and inspirational handouts that he would distribute each week along with our  coursework.  Getting to know Dr. Salkin and Jon better on the class trip to Chicago was a highlight of my time at Weatherhead.  It's not something I say lightly but truly and great and lovely man has been lost.  Please know I am thinking of all of you and remembering fondly Dr. Salkin's intelligence and zest for life.  Lovingly, Elizabeth (Ashley) Bush Ramsey

Harvey was not only brilliant and loving to his friends and family- he was a wise and kind man!  Linda and I and my family will have you in our hearts all our lives.

Harvey's memory will never be lost.

Harvey had a distinguished career at the Weatherhead School.  His willingness to speak out on issues of significance to the school will be missed.  And his appreciation of fine automobiles will not be forgotten.  Harvey was a true and trustworthy friend I will miss very much.

Harvey was a unique man, and you had to have the pleasure of knowing him to truly understand his genius. His words of guidance will always stay with me and the friendship he and his family shared with me will never fade. You may be gone, but never forgotten. zbb
