Read MoreMy husband was in the right place at the right time when he suffered his 1st heart attack. He was a truck driver delivering a load just a few miles from the hospital. We thought the doc looked like Palladin and he did exceptional work, my husband was 45 at the time. Thank you for giving us 52 years together. My husband died in 2019 at the age of 73. God is sooo good!! My heart goes out to those left behind

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Dr. Harner was a phenomenal mentor and teacher. Every patient was important to him and he wanted to do only his best for each one. His work ethic was infectious. He willingly shared his knowledge and always sought to improve flawed work processes. He was an awe-inspiring person. The medical community owes him a debt of gratitude for all of his contributions.

I remember Dr. Harner from my observation days at Swede's ER during nursing school (RVC). He had full command of the situation, and he was eager to teach students when he could safely do so, keeping the patient the focus of his attention. I don't remember a lot of docs from nursing school- but I do remember him. May he RIP- and my condolences to the family.

My Sincere HEARTfelt Sympathies to the entire Harner Family, please know that Dr.Harner touched my life in many ways over the last twenty years! During a period while creating marketing events and PR for Vitale's Cliffbreakers, it was my extreme honor to support Dr. Harner as we planned special dinners and meetings. His attention to detail, his humor, his warmth, his ability for excellence, and his appreciation always impressed me during these times we spent in the planning. Many years later...
