Lots of good memories, over a lot of years, of times with Harlen and Jan. I am so sorry that Harlen has had to go through so much, as did the family, but he is at rest now. Hope the good memories can over shadow your loss and the trials leading up to it. Sending love, and prayers to the family for peace during this difficult time.

Harlen was the first person I met at StorageTek in 1993. It didn´t take long for me to feel he was my best friend. My grandkids called him Uncle Harlen
