1947, in Ironwood, son of the late Thomas and Jolene (Layman) Buckallew,
attended Ironwood schools, and graduated from Luther L. Wright High School in
1965.     He was employed as a
swimming instructor by the City of Ironwood at the Memorial Building
pool, and was a self-employed roofer and painter in the area until retiring due
to ill health.     He was a member of the
Havenwood Baptist Church in Hurley. An avid golfer, he loved golfing with his
friends at Indianhead and Mellen. He was also an excellent cribbage player
and enjoyed watching Westerns.     Harland was much loved by his
family and many friends. He had a great sense of humor, was fun to be
around, and always had a joke to tell. He loved people and his Lord.
The joy of his life was his daughter Kristen.     Surviving are a son, Sean
(Rhonda) Buckallew, Weston, Wis.; two daughters, Kim (Tate) Boho, Colgate,
Wis., and Kristen Buckallew, Hurley; five grandchildren, Bryce, Brent and
