All our sympathies go with you and your family as you mourn the loss of Mr. Harley, Jr. I couldn't help notice all the GOOD accomplished by him. The Bible tells us that a good name is to be tresured - truly a man's accomplishments speak to his value and worth. (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13) Mr. Harley truly was a man who left his mark on society and I wanted to let you know how reading his obituary touched me.
