I will always have such nice memories of my Uncle Moe. He was a kidder, like his brothers, and you knew he cared with his reminding you to be safe. For example, when we were kids he'd say, "don't run near the pool." Knowing that we didn't always listen, he was right there when one of his youngest fell in. I can't remember if it was Robert or Chris, but I watched Moe grab his son's ankles — the only part still above water. Moe pulled his son straight up and held him upside-down for a moment, as if to show everyone the big fish he had just caught. I also remember Moe not being in a rush, but was there to talk with. One time, as a young kid, I had been looking at his handlebar mustache and thinking it was pretty cool. I wondered if it required curlers. He explained to me that it didn't, and told me about mustache wax. My heart and prayers go out to Aunty Barbara, my cousins, and everyone else who knew and loved Moe.

Uncle Moe was like a dad to me. He and Sonny and Norman were my strength growing up. That uniform he wore so proudly was worn by me to one of Aunt Margie and Uncle Sonny's Halloween parties and it fit! It was strange that my boyfriend (future husband) was also on the Wasp stationed in Boston, some 15 years later. We became engaged at that party, both dressed as sailors from the Wasp one real and one pretend. Moe got a kick out of that. He and Barbara taught me to be honest and I felt like one of their kids. I will miss him and wish I was closer to support the family at this time. Keep strong in God's love!

Dear Barbara, Rick and Gerry, Cindy and Eric, Ron and Jeannie, Cathy and John, Rob, Chris and Hanna, Ron, Joshua, Stephen, Justin, Anthony, Shannon, Heather, Derek, Taijah and Maurice:
There are no words to fully express the sadness left following the loss of your dear husband, father, grandfather, and our dear MOE.
Moe was such a loveable guy in his quiet, laid back way, with that gentle smile.
I will forever remember the mostly weekly visits over the last several years my dear Norman, of blessed memory, and I had with Moe and Barbara on Wednesdays - sometimes over coffee and donuts, and other times at lunch somewhere in the area. We had many laughs and such wonderful visits together. How those times are missed already.....
Moe, you will always be in my thoughts and you'll hold a special place in my heart.
I'm sure Norm had the coffee pot on to be ready for your arrival in your Heavenly home. Not sure if it's Dunkin' Donuts up there, though.....
I know he knew you were coming.....
Love to all the Harveys who have gone before us.
We LOVE YOU and MISS YOU, more than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow.
God's blessings on all.
June

Such a wonderful uncle! Comparing our childhoods once, Danny and I got on Sandy’s case because of the three of us she had the best godparents assigned to her: Uncle Moe and Auntie Barbara. Sandy had to concede that point. She got the best! During a visit, Uncle Moe and Auntie Barbara would sometimes pull Sandy aside and give her a special card or special present, or just mention that she was their godchild. Uncle Moe and Auntie Barbara took that responsibility seriously. Ha, Danny had to sometimes ask “Who are my godparents again?” after such a visit. And I remember years later, being at a wedding and introducing the friend of mine to my godmother, who, as if stunned asked, “I am?” She then asked nervously (it seemed) how my parents’ health was. Sandy we knew was covered with Uncle Moe and Auntie Barbara. They’ve always made their love obvious. (Not just to her either, but to all of us).
Uncle Moe was the kind of uncle who would speak into your life too. He’d want to know what you were up to, who you were hanging out with, what your plans were, etc. You never left a visit feeling unknown by Uncle Moe. I wish I were more like that. He could be funny and serious and then funny and then serious again, in the span of a minute, as he spoke into your life too; tearing up either way; never ashamed of emotions. In fact, of all the “grown-ups” in our family, he always seemed to me the freest with his emotions. I remember one time years after the fact, I was casually mentioning to Ann, a pet from my childhood that had 'run away;' until Uncle Moe stopped me mid sentence. To my surprise He remembered the very pet, and how that pet had REALLY died. Then, tearing up and with a choke in his voice, he told me he wanted me to know the truth about our black lab, "Snowball." He cared! I think I just said, “Oh.”
How children are treated; how the elderly are treated; how animals are treated; I'll always remember him caring about these things. You feel very safe around someone like uncle Moe.
Well, safe, unless you complain about something unimportant! Like when I complained about how sick I was of these warts I’d had on my hand and kneecap. They’d been fine for grossing out girls before, but I was starting into my teens. So hearing me gripe, he told me that he could get rid of them for me that day. I was delighted! Then he told me to have my dad light a cigarette and to bring it over to him, and he’d simply burn them off. Suddenly my concern with my outward appearance seemed so vain! It was what was inside a person that counted after all!!! I never knew if he was kidding or if he’d have actually done it. But I never complained about them around Uncle Moe, again.
Uncle Moe also introduced me to financial security. He came over and gave each of us cousins a real Silver Dollar. It was so big, and so shiny and new! I still have mine. Then he looked at me and as if the coin were magic said, “Tommy! If you never spend this silver dollar, you will never be completely broke.” I just looked at it like I had it made. “Wow! Cool!” Afterwards, I quoted that to impress several of my friends. It was some time later when someone finally said, “Well, yeah, duh! You’ll always have at least one dollar!” The next time I saw him, I asked if that was what he meant and he just cracked up.
Uncle Moe’s voice quality was special. Husky and kind. I’m told some Harveys have it. I do not, but I always wished that I did. And today I really miss hearing it, and I know that all my cousins and Auntie Barbara does too. I’m really praying for you folks in the coming days and weeks, and hope to come see you in September.
Love,
Tom

We will miss you dearly Uncle Moe. Always loved your handle bar mustache. A 4th of July party at my Dad's wouldn't have been the same without your wonderful laughter. You always had a great smile to go with it.
Love and miss you.

I cherish memories of my Uncle Moe; his wry humor, concern for others safety and comfort, and the love he obviously had for his wife - my Auntie Barbara - and each of his children, nieces and nephews and all the grandchildren fortunate enough to have known him.

I work at Dunkin Donuts in Burlington and had the pleasure of seeing Mo almost every morning before 6:00 am. He always had a quick remark and a smile on his face. He would put his 2 or 3 coffees on a tray and tuck his bag of a donut and a muffin under his jacket and say, "see you tomorrow!" I will miss these visits. Rest In Peace Mo, you've earned it. I'll see you tomorrow...
