Friends/Clients of Harvey from FDsign - update
 

I noticed over the summer that Harvey hadn't been posting here, then a few weeks ago I saw a thread from a client of Harvey's who hadn't received a response from him regarding some work. I've known Harvey for many years and he's always been exceptionally kind and helpful, sometimes refusing to be paid for the help. Anyway I've been concerned about his absence, knowing something of his past medical problems. So I emailed Harvey's email address with trepidation a couple of days ago to check in with him.

Today I got a reply from Ed, a cousin of Harvey's who works with him doing mainstream web design and development. He asked me to post here regarding Harvey's situation. Harvey unfortunately has a very rare medical condition he told me about a few years ago after a similar absence. Tumors, non-malignant so far, grow inside his body, when they grow in or around vital organs is where things get tough. Harvey's had two brain surgeries recently, he's recovering from the second one done last Friday right now - they're hoping he'll be out of the hospital end of next week and make a good recovery, doctors just don't know at this point.

Put Harvey in your thoughts and prayers, he's a very good man.

I'm V_RocKs and I agree with that message.

Sorry to hear about Harvey's troubles. Will keep him in my thoughts.

Damn hope he get's better at least it isn't the C word :)

Damn man that sucks. Thoughts are with him.

harvey is a good guy. did some work for him eons ago

Good thoughts for you dude!

Contacted him 4 or 5 months ago and he told me he was under some MILD chemo. I'm shocked.

All my best wishes for him, the guy is one of the few really good people in this industry. He's a trooper, he'll be fine and posting bad jokes soon!

That sucks. I like him. Sending good energy his way and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Wishing him a quick recovery.

OMG !!! Harvey indeed is cool guy - he did awesome job with integrating my design with WP. He is helpful, kind and very intelligent - he works fast and also knows what to do. I've sent him some emails in order to thank him for the good job he did for me, with hopes that when he's able he will accept more jobs....

All I can say is that I'm shocked - I did not expected THIS - I was thinking he's so busy with the many purchases he deals with so he won't answer!

Harvey is good guy and I hope he will recover very very soon!

Damn that's sucks!

Sending good vibes...Get well soon Harvey!

Sending positive vibes... get better and recover quickly! :pimp

Always a shock when real life intrudes this way. Harvey's done some great work for me, always a pleasure to talk to. Sending some good vibes your way Harvey.

My thoughts, prayers and positive energy are with you and your family Harvey. Get well soon.

Yep, Harvey's a great guy - he's been involved with helping street kids and part of the political movement to find those in Argentina who disappeared during the brutal military regime there in the 70's, most were killed, many of them children. Life isn't fair. :Oh crap

Next week I will check in with his cousin again and update the thread if he says it's ok.
