Harvey Burdick is survived by his loving and beloved wife Jean Goddard. He was the proud father of three sons, John (Judy), Tony (Kate), and Albert (Dianne). He adored his grandchildren Ben (Kara), Molly (Mel), and Nick (Mahlet), and great-grandchildren Elowyn, Juniper and Forest; as well as his stepchildren Joanna (Alex), Lucy, and Nick, and step-grandchildren Toby, Anton, and Cady. He was life-long friends with his brothers, Manny and Sylvan, as well as Dolores, Zeke, Herb, and Bill, with whom he shared many epic memories.

Harvey was a professor of psychology and never stopped questioning the world around him. He detested small talk and once famously kicked off a Thanksgiving meal by asking his professor son, “So, John, what is the current state of knowledge?” He was also an exceptional tennis player, opera enthusiast, avid reader, and home chef; he won family arm wrestling competitions well into his 90s. Harvey will be remembered for his humor, intellect and athleticism. He will be deeply missed.
