HARVEY PRICE

April 25, 1934 - April 22, 2022

FUNERAL SERVICE AND INTERMENT WERE HELD IN THAILAND. Harvey Price was born on 4/25/1934 in Detroit, MI. He was the third of three children of Sarah and Morris Price, both Polish refugees from WW II. After graduating from Central High School in 1952, Harvey began his college journey at UM in Ann Arbor, but got homesick and couldn’t bare to be so far away from his family in Detroit. Harvey transferred to Wayne State University, moved back home with his family, and then completed his undergraduate degree and his law degree at Wayne State. During college, Harvey joined a fraternity and formed life-long friendships with his fraternity brothers. In 1960, Harvey heard John F. Kennedy’s famous speech on the steps of the Michigan Union about the Peace Corps and was inspired to join the Peace Corps. Harvey returned to UM for Peace Corps training for service in Thailand and then began his service project overseas. Harvey fell in love with Thailand, established a law firm in Bangkok (website https://www.pricesanond.com/), and spent the rest of his adult life in Thailand. Harvey returned to Detroit every Fall to celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with his family and friends. Harvey married Phen Harnravee and they adopted four children: Mem, Doi, Phet, and Pim. Harvey will be remembered as a loving father and husband, in addition to a manager who enriched the lives of his employees, a loyal friend to his fraternity brothers, and someone who conveyed the best of American ideals to the Thai people. Harvey has been buried in the Jewish Cemetery of Bangkok. Harvey’s family will miss his cheerful and supportive presence. Harvey was preceded in death by his parents, Sarah and Morris Price, sister Mollie (Aaron) Sinkoff, brother Norman Price, and nephew Barry Sinkoff. Survivors include his wife, Phen Price (Bangkok), son Phet Price (Bangkok), daughters Pim (Bangkok), Toi (Jacksonville, FL), and Mem Price (Jacksonville, FL), nephew Gordon Sinkoff (Elizabeth Harris Sinkoff) of Solana Beach, CA, niece Brandy Sinco of Ann Arbor, MI, great-nephew Jason Sinkoff of Harrisonburg, VA, great nephew Adam Sinkoff (Natalie Sinkoff) of Del Mar, CA, great/great niece Eloise Sinkoff and great/great nephew Aaron Sinkoff of Del Mar, CA.
