Harvey Jay Eisenstadt

After graduating from Tilden High School in Brooklyn , Harvey attended and graduated engineering school in 1957 he was a test engineer working on radar and sonar systems in a defense plant on Long Island, he was presented with an opportunity in sales , the rest is as they say history. He began his sales career as a technical writer for the sales department, moving into a sales engineer’s position and followed very shortly with a promotion to Sales Manager. From this position as a “street “ salesperson moved into regional sales, national sales and executive sales. As Sales Manager for Fire Burglar Instruments, he moved his family from New York to California in 1976

In 1992 he began to author a monthly column in The Mirror, the magazine of the California Alarm Association and continued that right up until his passing. He travelled millions of miles and worked with hundreds of salespeople during his career. He culminated his award winning sales career when he left the corporate world in 2006. It was then he decided to take up a career as a sales and management trainer and mentor to organizations and individuals. A job he passionately loved.

It was during this time of his life that he decided to put pen to paper and make his experience available to anyone who needed it. In the next decade he penned 3 books on successful sales and management techniques.

But Harvey was so much more then a consummate salesperson, his greatest job was that of a Son, Brother, Husband, Father, Grandfather and finally Great Grandfather. The last 2 positions bringing him the greatest joy of his life. He would often be heard saying “had I known Grandchildren would be this much fun I would have had them first”.

Harvey was a family man, first and foremost. Nothing came before family to Harvey. He was a devoted son to his parents and was a cherished brother to Myrna. He was a kind and loving husband to Judy. He was an amazing father to Paul, Steven and Jay. He was a huge figure in his grandchildren’s lives always there and invested in Christopher, Madison and Sasha. And finally he was delighted by the arrival of his great grandchild and namesake Harvey.

Harvey was preceded in death by his parents Herman and Etta, and his wife Judy.

Harvey is survived by his sister and her family,3 sons, 3 daughter’s in law,

3 grandchildren and their families, and his great grandchild. And Grand Dad to Doggies Emmy , Teno and Benji ( the cat )

The impact on all of our lives will be felt for the rest of our lives. The effect that he has had on so many lives is immeasurable. And he joins his love of his life Judy. He will be remembered as a great father, grandfather, mentor, salesman and man.
