Just Lassen to Me! - Book Four by Harvy Simkovits

Volume Four of Just Lassen to Me brings with it the culmination of the Johnny Simkovits and sons saga. We learn how Harvy survives his father's furtive finances and his brother's brazenness.

More twists and turns, ups and downs, and ins and outs will emerge regarding Johnny's legacy, both onshore and offshore. See what happens as the family monarch gradually loses his faculties after surviving a serious hit to his health. Watch as Johnny undergoes a falling out with his third wife, and how he mismanages his money over his waning years. Can his sons reign in, mitigate, and overcome their father's flagrant falls and foolish failures?

Both soft landings and hard endings will culminate with different members of Harvy's family. Experience the conclusion of Johnny Simkovits's unabashed straying with sordid people, and learn about the disposition of his legitimate holdings and clandestine empire. Most importantly, will Harvy and his brother be able to put their dad's distasteful dealings behind them, transcend their father's legacy and family history, and come into their rightful own as sons of Johnny?

Simkovits, Harvy: - For too long, Harvy Simkovits followed in the path of his crafty and conniving patriarch. Harvy's WWII surviving, Soviet communism escaping, Canada immigrating, Montreal business building, government tax skirting, and blatant womanizing father told him, Harvy, I want you to finish engineering school, business school, and then law school. The family's flamboyant forbearer longed for his second son to become a somebody. He also wanted Harvy to come into the family business where he'd brashly say, Lassen to me, son, for I have more experience than you! Harvy, a loyal and impressionable youth, heeded his predecessor's wily wisdom for a while. After completing bachelor's and master's degrees in engineering at MIT and a stint at Harvard Business School, Harvy realized that he was following his father's designs and not creating his own dreams. Harvy dropped out of Harvard and discovered his passion in the fledgling field of organization development. After completing another master's degree in that discipline, Harvy enjoyed a twenty-five-year career in management consulting and executive coaching. He helped many owner-managed companies and family businesses not to make the same mistakes that his father and family made in their over thirty years in business. Then, in 2005, years after the death of his dad, Harvy felt he had to make peace with his past. He started to write not only about how his charming, hard-driving, and finagling father built his success in Canada, but also about how those qualities had had an insidious impact on their family, the family business, and (of course) Harvy. Harvy had to reconcile, repudiate, and rectify the moral and ethical dilemmas he faced with his furtive father and the rest of his thorny family so that he could successfully survive his survivor patriarch. Harvy Simkovits has been writing and publishing stories about his Canadian immigrant family and their family's business since 2005. Just Lassen to Me! is Harvy's full-length memoir turned book series. He resides in Lexington, MA with his wife, two kids, and two cats.
