Condolence: What a shame that his favorite daughter so he told me, Sheila, isn't in the memories and pictures. She wrote his beautiful obituary. Perhaps maybe she was living back out in california. He talked about how proud he was of her comedy and teaching and writing talent and how she took care of he and his wife near the end of his life. He felt you were very special if you do ever read this and I wanted to tell you knowing he probabbly never did tell you that enough. Xo Fp

Condolence: I flew with Harvey while we were attached to squadron VS 31 out of Quonset Point, RI. Harv, Gabe Gabriel and I were close friends not only when flying but also as land travelers when our ship, the USS Antietam docked at various ports along the shores of the Mediterranean.

Harvey Wenz was not just a great pilot and friend, but also a loving husband and father. I will miss his friendship and his outlook on life.

Condolence: Harvey's wife, Joan, was the cousin and closest childhood friend of my mother, Janet. After college together, they married in and lived states apart for the remainder of their lives. The connection remained strong. Happily, Harvey and my father, Ed, had an ongoing friendship that may have been fueled, at least in part, by being wildly outnumbered. Of eight children in the two families, seven were daughters.

In recent years, my sister, Molly, and I have had a chance to exchange notes and memories with Harvey and Joan. Recently, with Sheila as the skilled Smithtown conductor, the connection continues.

Sending condolences to the entire Wenz family.

Condolence: My Dad always like this poem:
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the sky on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, and done a hundred things you have not dreamed of-
Wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
Hov’ring there, I’ve chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air..
Up, up the long delirious burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark nor even eagle flew.
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod the high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
