Harlow Herbert Rudolph was born on January 27, 1946 at the

into his heart and life at the age of 10. He went home to
be with the Lord on November 17, 2020.
Harlow attended Herreid South Dakota school for all of his
school years. He graduated from high school in 1964. His
passion in high school was playing basketball. Throughout
his school years he worked at the Herreid Co-Op which his
dad managed. He loved working on any farm. He worked for
his two uncles, Mervin and Floyd and also friends Reuben
and Delores Diebert. Several summers he traveled, worked
and drove for the Shields Family Harvesters from Narden,
Oklahoma. They harvested from the Oklahoma border to the
Canadian border.
In March of 1966 Harlow enlisted in the Army. During boot
camp at Ft. Lenordwood, Mississippi, Harlow lost the use
of one eye. To honor his enlistment after his surgeries
and hospital stay, he became a drill instructor. In August
1966, Harlow married Kay Ann Aman. They moved to Ft.
Rucker, Alabama where Harlow became an instructor at an
Aviation Training Center. Their son Jon was born there.
Harlow was discharged in 1969 and the family moved to
Lodi, California where Michelle was born. They were
members of First Baptist Church where he served the Lord.
After a three year battle with cancer, Kay Ann went home
to glory.in 1991.
Harlow loved his Lord and loved music, loved to sing and
was a song writer. In 1970 he started his first quartet in
Lodi called ONE WAY FOUR. In 1992, Harlow married Jarene,
a friend of Kay and Harlows. She and her youngest son
Jaremy moved to Lodi from Dallas, Oregon. Jarene joined
One Way Four and that began their time singing together.
After Harlow retired from the United States Postal Service
after 33 years, they moved to Dallas, Oregon. They became
members of Salt Creek Baptist Church and formed SONrise
Ministries. They became members of the Pacific Gospel
Music Association where Harlow served on the board. Gordon
Kuryluk was their producer and with his help, Harlow and
Jarene recorded 20 albums. God led SONrise to travel and
eventually sing full time for 22 years, having up to 135
concerts yearly. Harlow’s joy was to travel in the
motorhome, set up the sound system, spend time with the
pastor of a church, sing Gods praises, and love and
fellowship with God’s incredible people…and on to the next
place.
