Harlow was born July 12, 1933, to Gladys (Gjerde) and Frank Holler of Andover. Harlow received his education at Pierpont School. Following graduation, he joined the U.S. Air Force. He served in Korea and was stationed in Springfield, Mass. After the Air Force, Harlow ventured into what he loved and did best, farming. For over 50 years, Harlow dedicated his life to family and farm.
Harlow married Aly Rozell on Dec. 31, 1954, in Granby, Mass. Soon thereafter, they returned to South Dakota and started their new life near Warner.
Their union was blessed with eight children: Gregg Holler, Warner, Brett Holler (Monica Lammle), Warner, Kristi (Gary) Kuhfeld, Colorado Springs, Colo., Joel Holler, Omaha, Neb., David (Eva) Holler, Huntersville, N.C., Neal (Eleanor) Holler, Seattle, Wash., LeAnn Holler, Huntersville, N.C. and Jon Holler (Jenny Strevell), Pasadena, Calif.
The family made their home on a wonderful farm near Warner.
Following a retirement from farming, Harlow and his wife, Aly, moved to Aberdeen, where he worked in a career of service. Harlow was passionate about golf, dancing, working in the yard and garden, sports of any kind, but most certainly his beloved Vikings and Twins and most of all, spending time with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by his family and his many, many friends.
Harlow was a member of the Rieck-Morgan Legion, as well as long-time member of St. John Lutheran Church of Warner.
Grateful for sharing Harlow's life is his wife of 58 years, Aly Holler; his eight children; 13 grandchildren; eight greatgrandchildren; loving brother, Dwayne; and step-brothers: Scott and Kirby.
His family also wishes to extend a special thanks to Harlow's great friend, Tim Kearns.
