Harlan worked in farming and was a union laborer. He was a dedicated member and servant of First Lutheran Church in Ogdensburg. Harlan had a passion for coon hunting, raising Blue Tick Hounds and later Beagles.

On May 26, 2012, he married Donna Mundt. He was a member of the Fox River Beagle Club and an avid reader. As his vision declined to blindness, he continued to listen to numerous books on tape.
