Worked with Harley Many Years and LYB in Clinton IA, So Sorry to here about his passing
I worked with Harley and shared an office with him for many years at Equistar/LYB. We shared a lot of storied together, an occasional beer when time permitted and emails since his retirement. Good friend and will be missed.
Harley was a customer of mine for many years. We will all miss him coming in. Sincere sympathy to all of his family. He was one of the good ol boys....
I stopped in to see Harley and Edna in 2014 and appreciated their hospitality. Also enjoyed traveling with Harley in 2009 and visiting. I will remember him on my rides. Lee
