On Sept. 10, 1977, Harlan was united in marriage to Mary Fitzner at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Courtland. Harley worked his career as a dedicated crop and livestock farmer working on his family farm in rural Nicollet for many years before retiring. When he wasn’t working on his farm, Harley enjoyed taking in a Minnesota Gophers game, or cheering for the local high school sports teams. Harley was a dedicated member of the Oakwood United Methodist Church of New Ulm. Although Harley has passed, many great memories will forever stay in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved him. Blessed be those memories.
