I remember hot summer days when Harvey drove us to the Ice King of Corona to share Italian ices on the street.  

 Another man  lives in his  apartment now, but Harvey is irreplaceable in my heart.  He was fun-loving and spontaneous, a  great friend & neighbor.   Every time I pass Harvey's   front door in our building,  I feel his absence acutely.

Harvey and I were neighbors in the same apartment building in Queens, New York for many years.  Harvey was very dear  to me.  His apartment was on the lobby floor, next to the elevator, which led some of the older tenants in the building to think Harvey was the building's "super" [or 'superintendent, that is, live-in caretaker]. Harvey, who cultivated a workman's looks,  was so sweet that he let them believe he was a building employee, instead of their neighbor..  
From time to time a resident, typically an old lady, would ring his doorbell and demand some service, as if he were the super.  Harvey was so good natured that he would go to the old lady's apartment and FIX whatever needed fixing, and never say that he wasn't the building's super.  

After Harvey installed speakers on three walls of his living room, creating a surround-sound system, he'd rent a movie every week, typically a loud adventure film, and invite some of us younger neighbors, including me, to watch the movie.  He always had treats, such as a dish of exotic multi-flavored jelly beans,  set out for us to enjoy while we watched.  Sometimes I'd say, "Harvey, how about putting t a sign on the wall above your apartment door that says, "Now  Playing"  or "Coming Soon" with the name of the movie?"   I cried when he moved to Houston. I missed him terribly and never stopped. Harvey will live in my heart for as long as I live.
