Donald J. Harlow

Donald J. Harlow, 94 (known to most as Jack) passed away peacefully at his home on Thursday, August 26, 2021. Born to Noah and Mary Harlow in Decatur, IL on Feb 5, 1927, Jack lived in Decatur for 34 years, until relocating to Neptune NJ in 1961. Jack was a proud veteran of the United States Navy who served our country honorably seeing combat duty in the Pacific Islands campaigns between 1944-1946.
