In 1964 he began his own firm, Harry W. Marlow, Inc., in Pinellas Park, with Progress Energy as it�s main client. He ran the business until he was 81 years old. He was proud to have worked in the profession he loved for sixty-one and a half years. Mr. Marlow was a faithful member of the Church of Christ. One of the most meaningful things in his life was being a founding member of the Skyview Church of Christ in Pinellas Park. He later worshipped with the 14th Avenue Church of Christ and, since moving to Dunnellon, with West Citrus Church of Christ. Mr. Marlow is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 65 years, Eloise. They worked together, side by side to study the scriptures, worship God, raise a family and run a business. They met in Perry, FL where he said it was love at first sight that never ended.
