The Watnick family appreciates the comments about our beloved Harvey. He was deeply committed to the practice of law, seeking justice for his clients and having deep conversation with his colleagues. A happy and grateful guy, he shared the secrets to inner peace with all those who touched his life. Harvey was treasured by many who had the good fortune to know him. He leaves behind his wife of 35 years Beryl, his 3 devoted sons, Andrew Watnick, Noah and Jesse Tannenbaum, his grandson Micah and his sister Iris.
My sons could not have a better role model. His beloved bull dog Buford was his greatest comfort. He also leaves behind lifelong friends who he loved dearly and spoke to regularly throughout his last months. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Harvey’s name to Infinite Love for Kids Fighting Cancer (flipcause.com), a cause near and dear to his heart. Services will be private.

I did not know Harvey well, much to my dismay. But I knew him and I liked him and I will be donating to his charity in his name. My religion suggests true acts of charity are done anonymously, so I will do so in that manner. But I read, fascinated, about Harvey's life and his work in the prior post. And I came away angry at myself for not taking the time to know him better.
But then there is this- my wife is a judge and when she became a Judge she ended up having lunch with Harvey at a local Cuban seafood place that was known for fried shrimp. This started a lunch-friendship that they repeated a few times. When she found out Harvey had passed away she told me about their friendship and how Harvey spent the lunches talking and bragging about how great his kids were and how lucky he was to have such a wonderful wife.
He is obviously well loved and remembered in Miami. I hope in the coming months that brings your family some measure of peace.
Be well.
Can't wait to see Trump & his family do the perp walk!
