Harley was very good to my sister, Shirley, and she misses him so much. So do I. We had many good times going out with the 2 of them. Harley had a good heart and he loved God more than his life. Until we meet again.
I will be praying for him.

Deepest condolences.. I fondly remember Harley for his kindness in keeping the air conditioner going in the St. Paul's media center. He would often check in out of the goodness of his heart to make sure it was working and make adjustments when needed. He expected nothing in return for his gift of time and talent. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My sweet, sweet love. I see you and feel you all around me. My heart aches for you. I look forward to the day when I join you in the company of the Angels.

Our sympathy to all the Rountree clan. Harley truly was a great man. My fovorite Harley story is when we played golf in a match play tournament. He was a real good golfer and when I played in my first event, he was my opponent. I lasted until we putted out on the 10th hole. He beat me by the score of 10 to 8!! Needless to say, I tried to beat him several times later, but never succeeded...He will be nissed.
