Harlan J. Denny, 68, a lifelong resident of Orange, entered into eternal rest surrounded by his loving family

Harlan J. Denny, 68, a lifelong resident of Orange, entered into eternal rest surrounded by his loving family on November 7, 2026. Born on August 1, 1958 in New Haven, he was the son of the late Robert and Alice Denny.

After graduating from Amity Regional High School in 1976, he started Denny Landscaping LTD, a business he built and maintained for 50 years. His commitment to the industry extended well beyond his own business. Harlan was a member of numerous organizations. These connections reflected his dedication to his profession and his desire to contribute to the broader landscaping and agricultural community.

Harlan was also a lifelong member of the Orange Congregational Church and was a 20-year member of the Orange Volunteer Fire Department, where his connection to faith and community remained an important part of his life.

Above all else, Harlan treasured his family. He was so proud of his three daughters and their athletic and academic accomplishments. The only thing that brought him more joy than his children were his grandchildren. Whether bringing his grandchildren to fairs, sharing his love of Vermont, or simply spending time together, he found his greatest joy in the people closest to him. His love for family and community was woven into everything he did.

Along with his beloved wife, Ann, Harlan is survived by his children, Shannon (Kevin) Olson, Rebecca (Alex) Wetmore, and Allison (Kurt) Correia; his grandchildren, Lucy, Archer, and Callum; his brother, Kevin (Sally) Denny; his mother-in-law, Dorothy Borrelli; his

in-laws, Carla Borrelli (William Boegly), Donna Borrelli (Carol Marinaccio), Stephen (Helen) Borrelli, and Paul (Maria) Borrelli; his nieces and nephews, Eric (Briana) Denny, Sarah (Carl) Tonucci, Nicholas Boegly, Stephen (Kim) Borrelli, Teresa Borrelli, and Gianna Borrelli; his great nieces and nephews, Carter, Emma, Camden, and Sophia; and his beloved furry companions, Hunter and Tucker.

Harlan is predeceased by his parents, Robert and Alice Denny; and his father-in-law, Carl Borrelli.
