Carleton Harlow Obituary
He worked for a number of years at E.C. Co. in Portland, Oregon. In 1999, he moved back to Vermont and started his own business, Generator Maintenance Systems, and operated it until the end of his life.
His main passion and love was for his family. He was avid outdoorsman with fishing as his main forte. He will be remembered for his great sense of humor; he was always the funniest man in the room.
He will be greatly missed and remembered by his parents and loving wife; his children, Megan Harlow, 27, of Virginia, Kristance Harlow, 25, of the United Kingdom, and Joseph Harlow, 20, of Vermont; his great-aunt, Alice Gallo and her son Peter Gallo and his wife Roni Gallo; his brothers and sisters, David Harlow and his wife Paula Harlow, Elsie Carden and her husband Howard Carden, Ann Rose and her husband Doug Rose, and Bret Harlow and his wife Robin Danowski. He also leaves behind his first unborn grandchild. Whenever there is a family gathering, he will be missed, not only for his delicious barbecues and hilarious dance moves, but for his selfless, loving presence. Wherever there is a stream and fish to be caught, a clear night with stars to gaze at, or a moment that calls for a laugh, we will remember him.
The memorial service will take place at Tyson Church in Tyson on Saturday, January 14th, at 11:30 am. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Tyson Ladies Aid, in care of Janine Norman, 9 Norman Drive, Ludlow VT 05149.

As an old classmate of Carleton's I have some great memories of him being a fun guy to be around and always smiling and must say maybe just a little bit of mischief we all seemed to be famous for. May God Bless all of the Harlow family and you will be in our thoughts and prayers for a long time to come and speaking for the class of 1970 he will NEVER be forgotten, we are all proud to have called him a true friend....Forever...

My very deepest condolences to the Harlow family, to all of those that I knew and to the ones that I did not know. Carl and I go all of the way back and if there was an outdoor sport in Vermont we were there. The beaver stories, the first Black Bass story, the falling through the ice stories, the "almost Black Bear" story......I will miss you Carl and feel so very comfortable in saying "you are a man that I truely loved"....May the Lord have His arm around you forever and ever......

Our deepest condolences to Paige, Megan, Kristance and Joseph. You will always be remembered in our hearts, and your family in our prayers. Many years were spent working together at EC. Fishing, camping, new children were just " icing on the cake ". Scarlett O'Hara and Mack the Knife will never be the same without you.

Deepest condolences to the Harlow family. Carleton was a great classmate and friend and will be missed by all who came in contact with him. I am certain by now he is teaching Chubby Checkers how to properly do the twist. Rest in peace Carleton.
