My deepest sympathy to the family of Harlan Gee.
He was such a great man and one that I so admired for all that he did for others. I was so privileged to know him and sing with him at New Hope Methodist church. I am so grateful to have been a friend of Harlans.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Harlan. He was one of the greats, and memories of him playing tuba for all of his family and extended family at Christmas will always be some of my favorites. Prayers and love to all family and friends.
