The couple later divorced. Harlan was united in marriage on October 31, 1988 to Deborah Carlson in Las Vegas. He spent many hours on the road delivering Winnebago campers around the United States and farmed for 40 + years south of Stanhope and Stratford.

He loved to watch ISU football and NASCAR races, especially Dale Ernhardt Jr. He had a goal to attend as many races as he could. His most memorable experience was driving 123 mph around Daytona. Harlans life existed around traveling – bank trips, river cruises and road trips. Harlan and Debbie wintered for 15 years in Melbourne, FL and enjoyed the many different restaurants they had the pleasure of eating at. His Swedish heritage was very important – UFF DA. Always remember to Live-Laugh-Love.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the family for a bench in Harlan’s honor to be placed at Stanhope.
