Harvey Walker Allen
February 14, 1938 – July 25, 2024
A Life Lived to the Fullest

Harvey Walker Allen of Newton, Massachusetts, a beloved husband, father, grandfather and soon to be great-grandfather, passed away peacefully at 86 years old on July 25th at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston surrounded by his family.

Family, Philanthropy, Friendship, M.S. Walker and athletic feats were the cornerstones of Harvey’s life. Harvey lived life to the fullest surrounded by family, friends, love and laughter.

Harvey was born on Valentine’s Day, 1938 in Newton, Massachusetts to the late Ruth and Leo Allen, and sister Nancy Shaw (and late brother-in-law Robert). Harvey’s legacy continues through his wife, Paula (Levine) Allen and his seven children: Scott Allen and wife Susie (Saitow), parents of Phoebe and Sydney; Robyn Stavis, who was married to the late Norman Stavis and is the mother of Barrie Stavis, Rachel Stevens and husband Nick Stevens, and Joshua Stavis; Brett Allen and wife Vicki (Kafka), who have two children Dylan and Alexa; Brooke Allen; Ross Allen and wife Lior (Alon); Max Allen and fiancé Olivia (Lapides); and Max Levine.

Harvey was raised in Newton, MA and attended Middlesex High School and Colby College. After college, he almost signed a contract to pitch for the Boston Red Sox but stayed in school and then joined M.S. Walker. At the time, Leo Allen told his son that “he’d be better off in business than in baseball.”

Harvey’s legacy continues as the fifth generation of his family, leads M.S. Walker into its 9th decade. As Chairman and past President, the influence that Harvey had on the business and life at M.S. Walker was profound. Harvey was incredibly proud to witness the growth of the company and also equally proud that the family carries on with the care and culture he embodied. Harvey was a leader and a source of joy and laughter. He was certainly the life of the party and his humor, wit and spirit brightened everyone’s days and created a unique atmosphere within the company. One only has to remember his words at the company’s recent 90th celebration to know how much he loved the entire MSW family.

Harvey’s life stands as a monument to his unwavering commitment and loyalty he held towards his family and friends. His memory will be cherished by his children, grandchildren and legions of friends, who remember him as a pillar of strength and a source of endless love, wisdom, jokes and stories. If you were a friend of Harvey’s, you were a friend for life.

He was the longest standing member of Pine Brook Country Club, his home away from home, where he won the club championship at least once in four different decades. He was a proud member of the 1965 golf team in the Maccabiah Games (The Jewish Olympics) in Israel, which marked the first time he traveled there.

Another pillar of Harvey’s life was his dedication to the many charitable organizations that he cherished. He was a giver and if you knew him – you were also a giver. He was deeply committed to the State of Israel for his entire lifetime and served as a long time President of Israel Bonds, and as a major supporter of the CJP, FIDF and Duvdevan. Closer to home, he was a long-standing board member of the Hillside School in Marlborough, Massachusetts.

A funeral service will be held at Congregation Kehillath Israel / Mishkan Tefila, 384 Harvard St. Brookline, MA on Sunday, July 28th at 12:00 pm. Burial will follow at Sharon Memorial Park, 120 Canton Street, Sharon, MA. A celebration of his life will be held at Pine Brook Country Club, 42 Newton St, Weston, MA from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm.

A Legend, a Icon, a Titan of the New England Beverage alcohol industry. An unfathomable loss and void that will be felt for many years to come, but never forgotten. A incredible personality and a wonderful smile that lit up every room. Harvey left a mark on everyone that knew him. My most sincere condolences to the Allen and entire MS Walker Family.
