Our sincere sympathy to Randy, Rodney & families on learning of the passing of your father & mother. My parents enjoyed being their neighbor in Kelseyville & always looked foreward to their 4th of July barbeque. Take care. Donna & Phebe Hepworth Lakeport, CA.

Burt and his late wife Peggy were clients of my salon. I always enjoyed listening to Burt when he came in to get his hair cut. He always had a smile on his face and loved to flirt with the ladies. RIP Burt...

You will be missed

I was deeply touched by Burt Harlan as he shared his story about his wife, Peggy, in her last days. We met at the Lakeport Senior Center and he was warm, sentimental, respectful and oh so handsome! We only met a few times during the lunch hours and each time he would break into a smile!

My deep sympathies to family and friends, who I know will miss him greatly.
