Mr. Crane, I was in your son, Steve's class at Hallandale Junior High. My father was Carol Owen, the banker. Sorry to inform you that he passed away last year at only 69. I am glad to hear you are still around and wish you many more years and give my regards to your family. Thanks John Owen

Harvey, It's great to see that you are still going strong. My years at Crane Cams from January 1970 until July 1978 were some of the best years of my life. I made contact with Richard Moser and he told me about your web site. Take care of yourself and give my best to your family. Dale

Harvey, I just got the news about Maxine from Chase Knight. My condolences on your loss. I'll always have a laugh, thanks to Max, when I recall her asking me in front of a large group of people at the SEMA Show; "I forget, Henry. Did you quit, or were you fired?". For the record....I quit. Again, my deepest sympathy. Regards, Henry Walther

Harvey: I was hired by you and your crew in 1982 for the position of Heat Treat Manager and was sent to Muskegon Michigan to help close the company of Universal Cams, and relocating it to Crane Cams of Daytona. Upon arriving there and seeing the dungeon of a facility, I thought I had died and gone to HELL. After relocating the Heat Treating equipment to the Daytona Plant and working there with the personel that worked for the best company in Florida, I quickly found out that instead of Hell, I was in Heaven. That was probably the best nine to ten years of my career until I was called into the front office and terminated for an unknown reason. This was shortly after you had gotten fired from your own business. When I asked the question as to why I was picked to be terminated, I was told by two of the fabulous four, that they did not need my expertise any longer as I had trained every man in the Heat Treat to operate every piece of equipment and there was no need for me any longer. At this time I was devistated. Getting discharged was my reward after the long hours and work and the improving of already top quality products by eliminating over $300,000.00 of scrap per year each year and making the company more profitable. After this I went on to be a Plant Manager and eventually a General Manager of a top notch comercial heat treating company in Florida. If it had not been for you, "Harvey" being the main one to push for my being hired along with Grayson Maule, "Rest His Soul", I would not have had the opportunity to suceed with my long term goal of being totally in charge of a comercial plant. You, Harvey and Grayson will never be forgotten by me for the things that you did for the employees of the great Company of Crane Cams. I will close by saying that this is no longer a company that I tell people that I used to work for. Without you and Grayson at the helm it is no longer the place it used to be.

Harvey, To me, you were always a great man--your way of doing things--precison, attention to detail--ok is not good enough and your BOW ties hahah I loved them. You intimidated me in my early days when I had to go into your office, seeing you sitting behind your huge desk, looking up and saying--well, what do you want, I am busy, can't you see that. I used to tremble inside until one day I ran into you in the hall and you told me Bob I am only trying to get you to think quicker--I like you. From that day forward, I was never affraid to go into your office again. Well maybe a few times hahaha. I always looked up to you and you taught me a lot about doing things right, and for that i will be eternally grateful. I also remember getting ready to go home for the evening and you getting a hold of me and handing me a camshaft that had to go to Maxwell at chrysler and I took it to the airport and sent it by delta dash. So when I heard Maxine had passed, If I would have had to come from anywhere, I would be there. I have missed you and my job with you for all of these years and have wondered many times if you knew the real reason I was let go. I had found out and seen my my own eyes a lot of your product going out the backdoor( if you know what I mean) I reported this to Dave smith--A week later I was let go. I would not have missed today for anything. May GOD bless and keep you safe, your long time friend bob urban

Harvey, Thank you for allowing me and my Bill into Maxine and your lives. It wasn't all business, but I did learn to use the computer for cam spec's (under Bill's directions). I will miss the telephone calls to Maxine, SHE will never be forgotten, nor you. If it had not been for you, I would still have all that junk (machinery). Wishing you well each and every day and my Blessings. Take care, Doris

Mr. Crane, My father Ed Neu worked for Crane Cams from about 1968 - 1982. He was a machinist specializing in automatic screw machines. My father passed away in 1995. I worked at Crane Cams in Hallandale for several summers, and knew your daughter Susan. I am sorry to hear of the passing of your wife. I hope all is and remains well with you. Best regards, Ed

Dear Harvey, Wanted to take just a moment to let you that I really appreciate the memories from my childhood that you gave me. Being able to hang out at Crane Cams with Mona and Susan, the christmas float, gator nationals and so much more. It was great to read about you and I am glad you have done so well. I am sorry for the loss of your beloved Maxine. Sandy Burbine Gale

Harvey: I thought it was about time to "sign in" on the Guest Book at your web site. It's the least I could do for the man who gave me my first job with a performance/racing industry company! (When I was fresh out of Hialeah High School, 1966) Thank you for believing in me for all those years, and for your continued support and friendship. I consider it an honor to know you. -Jim Hill

Hello Mr. Crane, I would like to again express my condolences of Maxines passing. Losing ones family members is a tough chew, but we need to move forward and I'm sure that you are a man who will be able to keep his chin up. Your assistance to me in selecting a cam for my Ford AA truck was most appreciated and I have since been recommending others contact you for their cam selections for their Model A's. They all seem to have a differnet need, subsequntly I felt that your experience and those recommendations of so many made you the canidate for them. Again thank you for being so accomodating and informative. Alan Wernstrum

I stumbled across your web site while searching for specs on a "Michigan cam" (NOS) I inadvertantly acquired on Ebay (it was mislabeled) for my 84 Buick Skyhawk turbo. I can't begin to tell you how excited I was when I realized this was actually "your web site". My hot rod days were in the 70s to early 80s. I always used your cams. They were the absolute best! Glad to see you are still involved with the business. Kind of gets in your blood and you can't get away from it! If you ever get up to Wisconsin, look me up. I'll buy you lunch and we'll go to the mud drags or something!

Hi Harvey, I was pleasantly surprised to come across your guest book. It was nice to see some familiar names and some nice comments about my dad. I worked many years at Crane, and enjoyed all of them. I am sorry to hear of Maxine's passing. She was always a funny lady. Wanted to let you know that my mom passed away on Sunday. She had been ill for quite some time, battling cancer and Alzheimers. Hope you are well. Have a great Christmas. Laura Maule Handt

Mr. Crane, Its probably been close to 30 years since I have seen you while you worked on the Hallandale Rotary Christmas Sleigh. I never realized until I did a search for your name online that you were no longer still with the company that carries your name. I just had to sign your guestbook as it seems the times where I find someone who knew my father are few and far between. Sincerely, Harold Shaw, Jr.

Hello Harvey! I cannot hardly believe it has been a year since you lost Max. It seems like just yesterday Maxine was calling me "Jamie" and giving me instructions that were exactly like what my own mom used to! I'm happy to see that you are doing well, and that this time has helped you cope with your loss. I especially enjoy our Saturday morning sessions and having completed the writing and editing of "Chapter One" of your book. Actually, there's so much information crammed into that first chapter that it begs for separation into 2-3 chapters, and I will tackle that very soon. For anyone reading this Guest Book I strongly recommend you take a look at Chap One. If you at all value the very special man it's about - HJC - then I know you will enjoy reading it. I'll see you soon. Regards, Jim Hill

Harvey, You might be interested in learning that my book Damn Few Died In Bed, the autobiography of the late Andy Dunlop, tells of his valve spring experiments with Michael C. Turkish of Eaton Corp. although I didn't know Turkish's name at the time because Andy couldn't remember it and nobody at Eaton could tell me. It just came to light today and I found your site in searching for the book Turkish wrote. Tom Saal

We've discovered (Sometimes several times oer walk!) things like all the cats who inhabit your end of Spruce Creek Fly-In, most of the squirrels brave enough to come to ground during our walks, various birds and even a few of the native dogs. This has been a rewarding experience as well as great exercise, for both Stormy and I. -Jim Hill
