Harley always brought a smile to my face whenever I saw him. He was real and respected. Harley had a great sense of humor. He would pick up his Cadillac after we changed the oil. He would call me on his cell and tell me the engine was knocking, paused and then laughed at me. I never got tired of listening to him talk about his Marine days. He would stop by the shop, smoke his cigarettes, share current events, jokes and laugh. He was part of the crew. He will be missed by all. I'm a better man from knowing Harley Landrum.

Harley was a kind and generous man with a great family. He would often donate to the WJ Senior Christmas party. Please accept our sympathy for your loss and the loss to our community.

Harley had been a friend of mine for almost 50 years. He was my boss back in the early 60's and had been a friend since. Even though I didn't get to see him very often he was always the same old Harley. The world has lost a very good and kind human being, almost a one of a kind. May God take care of him in his next life and may his family take solace in the fact that they will one day be reunited with this fine man.
