Harlan D. 'Harley' Taft

My Dear Brother-in-law Harlan, We all will miss you so very much. Thanks for all the times you kept us laughing. I will always be thankful to you for making me drive after my car accident. If not for you I am not sure if I would have ever driven again. You truly have been a great brother-in-law. Rest in Peace We love and miss you!!!

My prayers go out to the whole family. He will be dearly missed by all. He could fill up a room with laughter. He was a kind man, always caring for his family and his friends. He is with God now watching over his love ones. Love Susie

Harlan, you will be missed. For those who never got to know you very well, they have missed out on a true joy in their life. Harlan was a simple man - do not think that this is being derogatory. You see, he was simple. He refused to make a big deal out of little things. Most worldly challenges to Harlan were small things. He would look for a way to push thru any challenge, job, finanacial, family issues, etc. He simply knew what was important in life, and had a strong ethic for family life. His wife, children and grandchildren were the most important part of his life. He enjoyed being around them & most importantly, always, always, knew that it was OK to take a nap. Harlan did not live a complicated life you see, he lived a simple life. His way of life was such: Surround yourself with a loving family and friends, give ALL you have to help others, unconditionally, never expecting anything in return, other than a heartfelt thank you. Harlan was quick to smile and laugh. He was always willing to make anyone laugh, knowing inside that it was always the best medicine. He taught me that whatever the circumstance was, laughing might not cure it, but it would surely make it feel better. In his passing, we will miss his earthly smile, humor, touch and voice. The one thing that his passing cannot take away from us is his love for us. That will continue for eternity. We should all look forward to the "Home-Going" that he received when he met our Jesus face to face. Imagine the stories he is telling now! I know that Harlan will be the first to meet anyone "going home" for eternity, just because it's who he is. I can only imagine the beautiful flower gardens that he will be tending. Simply put Harlan, rest well. you've earned it. While we are missing you here, we wish we were there with you.
