Harlan will truly be missed. He was a joy to work with and play cards with. Never a bad word about his fellow works. Just a good man.

"Honk" and I were classmates in high school and I have many fond memories of being a cheerleader rooting for him at football and basketball games. It was great seeing him at our 50th reunion and at a recent mini-reunion. God speed. Marjorie Austin
