Harlan C. Erickson

Harlan C. Erickson, beloved

husband of Lucy Erickson, and

long time Newport Beach resident,

passed away peacefully in

his sleep on January 17, 2009

at the age of 87.

Harlan was born in Minnesota

on July 15, 1921. Along with

his parents, 2 brothers and a

sister, he moved to Pasadena,

California in 1937. There he

attended the lower and upper

divisions of Pasadena Junior

College. In his final year he

served as student body president.

Harlan was also a proud graduate of USC, and a former

Navy pilot, serving honorably in both WWII and Korea.

Harlan, or “The Commander” as he was affectionately known

by his friends, was a successful real estate developer, an avid

golfer, sports fan, and all around guy.

He was a member of the Newport Beach Country Club, Big

Canyon Country Club, Thunderbird Country Club, Indian

Wells Country Club, Avondale Country Club, and PGA

West. He also belonged to the Elks, American Legion, the

Newport Beach Yacht Club, and the Balboa By Club.

Harlan is survived by his wife, Lucy, his granddaughter Allison,

of Bothell, Washington, and loads of friends.

God saw that Harlan was very tired and cure was not to be. So

he put his arms around him and whispered “Come to Me”.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves memories

no one can steal. Not a day goes by that we don’t think of

you, Harlan.

Loving you always and forever,

Your Loving Wife, Family and Friends
