Harlan Lee Emory was born January 27, 1934, in Greenfield, IA, to Charles and Mildred Emory. Harlan served in the US Navy from 1953 to 1954. He was a foreman at Iowa Paint Manufacturing, where he retired.
Harlan was often thought of as the life of the party and loved to laugh big. Whether he was at the Macksburg Skillet Throw, having a few beers at the local tavern with family and friends or being home, Harlan loved life. His love for his family and friends will remain with us forever.
Harlan was preceded in death by his wife of 42 years, Sharon Emory. He is also survived by his son Kevin Howe (Lori) of Adel, IA, daughter Sandra Johnson (Mark) of Windsor Heights, IA, daughter Sheryl Fink (Rick) of West Des Moines, IA and son Kirk Howe of Des Moines, IA, 14 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.
