Miss you Mr. Wonderful, you were there for us girls no matter what. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to have you as part of our family. You were a thoughtful man. I loved that you planned a picnic for the family to get together at Breezy Picnic a memory I will always cherish, you continued keeping the family together after mom passed, thank you for that. I love you, I miss you until we meet again. You will always be part of our life story.

Dear Harlow,
I can't believe you're gone.
Everytime I pick the phone on Mondays to call you for my Tuesday pickups, it's not you that I talk to anymore and I can't get over it...
I will miss you deeply.
I will always remember you; especially everytime I hear the Beatles or Jackson Brown.
Maya

As I read of Harlow's present...I am of Harlow's past. My first love, my first boyfriend...1965-67...I am reminded of him every time I go under the bridge between Marlboro and Southboro, where we carved our names in the summer of '66.
He played a huge, pivotal role in my young life, in so many ways. Our time together will always be imprinted in my memory- a good man with a big heart, whom I loved dearly. He went to Alaska, while I went to Hawaii. And now, as he leaves this earth, I wonder if he realized what big footprints he left.
I am truly sorry for your loss of such a great human being, and am happy to know how many people's lives he touched, and how much he was loved.

Dear Harlow,
You left us so suddenly that I didn't get a chance to tell you just how much you mean to me and the kids.After we lost my mother you became so much a part of me and my kids daily lives that I just thought you'd always be there.We often take our loved ones for granted unknowingly. We become so wrapped up in our daily routines and so involved with obtaining the "other" things in life that we desire,that we forget how fragile life really is.In these 3 years I have really gotten to know you and we have been through so much together.You could have just walked out of our lives....but you didn't. You stayed and told me never to worry,that my mom was watching over us and you'd always be there when we needed you.
I can't express enough how much that meant to me! You Harlow proved to me that gentlemen do exist. My Mother is one lucky woman! I Hope you are back in eachothers arms again! please send her my love
Here's just some of the things I'll miss .......
I'll miss our daily talks in the car and how you would always bring me a diet pepsi.(just like Mom did)
I'll miss you sipping your tea in the morning and handing me the paper to read an article you already read.
I'll miss the way you packed your cigarette by tapping it on the steering wheel while smaking your lips
I'll miss the way the phones drove you crazy and how you would go crazy without the phones.
I'll miss the way you'd sass the annoying telemarketers in a polite way and how you'd answer the phone with a foreign accent when I called.
I'll miss your mini charleston chews all over the car and the coca-cola cans under the seats
I'll miss our little fights that never lasted more than a day.......or two! Tops!
I'll miss going to Sudbury farms with you every single day to buy groceries just for that evening
I'll miss your love for the beatles,redsox and whopper juniors (plain with tomato only)
I'll miss your glasses hanging off your nose and how you'd tilt your head back to see me through them!
I'l miss your funny sense of humor,your one of a kind laugh and your loving smile especially.
You will live on in our hearts,untill we meet again....I Love you so much!
Love,Tina,Ryan and Alyssa

To all of the Lutke family as well as
the Claire family, please accept my condolences on this loss...Harlow was
such an icon to this city (back in my day especially) but after reading some of the other entries in this guestbook, I'd say he still is & always will be...peace out.

Harlow,
Rest in peace my friend. I'm so glad that I ran into you this past Jan when I was home. It had been over 30 years since we had last hung out together and it was great to see you again. You were always a good friend and fun to be with and the memories are many. Go be with your loved one's Harlow and say Hi to my brother Butch, you and him were always good friends.

My BIG brother Harlow, When the sun rises for a brand new day, I know you are watching over us. When the sun sets, I know you've heard all of us for that day. As each new day approaches I know you are also dancing with the angles as you are with your loved ones whom you've yearned-for to be with. Be happy Harlow for you've earned every bit of it.
Love you,
Cheryl,Autumn and Kenny

Harlow, You have touched the lives of so many people,you had a way of just popping in or calling out of the blue and I rolled my eyes but still answered you.I always felt better after talking and you checking in with me and my sisters to see how we were.I still look at my phone hoping you'll call.Thank you for all the things you have done for us and what was most important to you was keeping the family together and having something going on. I'll NEVER forget the memories of you.One comes to mind when you took everyone to the water slide and you with your chicken legs flew down that water slide and I couldn't stop laughing.Needless to say you only went down once.We have SO So many memories and we will share them with our children and grandchildren as long as we live.There's alot of stories and wonderful memories that it wipes out All the tough times we all had. But Harlow you are forever with Mom without those darn cellphones just how she wanted it. We love you and adored you in so many ways.Rest in Peace and tell Mom we know she's here with us, Love you so much Harlow(Mr Wonderful). Our deepest sympathy to all of your family and friends. We Love You Always!!

Harlow, Without you in life, there will be a void that cannot ever be filled. Your soul is pure, and now you can share eternity with Trudy. Together in death, as you were in life. You will be missed. The 7/11 crew pray for you daily.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
