Linda, my heart goes out to you and your family during this very difficult time. Harlan was very special to me and many of the staff at Heritage during our time together there. I continued to enjoy his sense of humor and love of music through his FB posts. Cherishing the memories of a truly great man.

Harlan and I were good friends in high school. He was a very loyal person and fun to be around. I’ve thought of him often over the years and I hope he had a good life. Sad to hear of his passing but I’m sure he’s in a better place now.
