Jerry & I extend our deepest sympathy. We are so glad that we took the opportunity to spend time with Harland & Wanda recently. Harland will always be remembered as a computer guru. His genealogy knowledge will be missed. Love to you all!

Dear Wanda and the Marth family,
We are saddened to hear of Harland’s passing and extend our condolences to you and your family.
In 1998, Harland and Wanda stopped by our home in the Twin Cities meeting for the first and only time with Harland. Harland and Chris shared an interest in genealogy and computers. Sharing lineage and information in our Lehnus family was enjoyable.
A second cousin once removed,
Chris, Lisa and Andrew Simonson Maple Grove, Minnesota

I am VERY sad to hear this news of a great friend, very sad indeed! I am in Europe on travel when I received a note from Scott Niermann of the news. This will be very tough times for Wanda for which I grieve with her. Harland and Wanda helped me get my footing in my computer career for which I will always be grateful. Harland was in fact a mentor for me. Harland and Wanda passed through TN and stayed a night with me and that is the last memory I have. I will miss him.

Wanda and family
We were sadden to hear the news of Harlan. We are on a trip to Arizona returning to Minnesota later this week. I have many fond memories of visits to your home in Morris Illinois with my father.
Our prayers are with you.
