Harvey J. Rosenfield

Harvey J. Rosenfield, of Jamaica Plain, December 21, 2018. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Odette, and his son, Michael. They adored him and were so proud of him.

Harvey grew up in Brookline and graduated from Brookline High School. He earned a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from MIT and a Master of Science in electrical engineering from WPI. After working for IBM, he created his own small business called Rosenfield and Associates, Inc., which he ran for decades. Harvey focused on computer programming and data processing near the beginning of the computer age. He traveled the world with his family, but was happiest at home, sharing countless memories with his wife and son. Harvey was passionate about Congregation Kehillath Israel in Brookline, where he was a former past president, and the longtime gabbai of the shul. He made everyone feel welcome there, and loved his role every Saturday morning for years, assisting in services and greeting old friends and new faces in the crowd. He was a true gentleman.
