Edgar Harley, Jr. Passes Away
Ed Harley passed away on Tuesday, May 15. Edgar was a long-time Financial Secretary of our council, and was a member of the KofC for 61 years. Cantankerous though he could sometimes be, Ed was also a good friend to many of us.

Honor Guards
Edgar requested that there be a Fourth Degree honor guard at the funeral, but not at the visitation. Please contact Elmer Scheidhauer (867-2236) if you need more information.
Considering the short
Considering the short notice, the funeral was pretty well-attended. I saw at least four other guys from our council, and there was a seven-man Fourth Degree honor guard.
Fr. Victor and Fr. Hood concelebrated. Fr. Hood was the spiritual director for the St. Vincent de Paul Society when Ed was active in it. They both showed an obvious respect for Ed and Margaret. Fr. Victor's homily mentioned the Harleys as a couple who put their heart and soul into St. Michael's.
It's a shame there weren't more people there, but I'm amazed at how quickly the funeral was held after Edgar's passing.
