I am so sad that such a wonderful, gentle man is no longer with us.  Bless you Terri.

I just heard of Bob's death. Every time I think of Bob & I on the Golf Course, it reminds me of the laughter we had trying to hit that little ball. I'm sorry I didn't see him in recent years. My sympathy to the Harris family.

I have only today learned of Bobby's death.  I went to high school with him, and he remains one of my best memories.  He was always nice to me  --  always.  The world is a lesser place with Bobby gone.

Dick Gercken, Massillon, OH

My thoughts and prayers are with Bob's family. He made a significant contribution to helping needy persons over the years. I always enjoyed being around him. My sympathy also goes with the family.

Robert, Jr.-My deepest sympathies to the Harris family.  My parents, John & Shirley King, remember the political days of your Dad in Jax when my Dad was a city councilman & clerk of the criminal court. They were highly respected folks. Robert, Jr & Shine, it has been a long time 'no see'.  Maybe all the way back to Starke, Fl. days. You are in my thoughts & prayers. Love, Mary

Bob, John and Betsy,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss! I just found out today so I wasn't able to come to the viewing or the funeral. I love you all and you are in my thoughts and prayers! 
Love - Cindy Poland Pittman

Prayers for your family, Daddy Harris! You and Joan were so special in my life. I will never forget your kindness and love. You were instrumental in my love of flying.

So sorry for your loss. My maiden name was Wilkins and we lived next door to the Kaltenbach's until we moved in 1956 to the San Jose Area. I remember when Bob and Joan married . Time has gone by. Praying for you.

To God be the glory; Gone, but will foever live in the  hearts of many.  To the Harris family  hold on to God's  unchanging hands and  he will mend your you broke hearts. We all are blessed to have known Mr. and Mrs Harris for they gave there LOVE
to  many.

Sincere condolences and many, many fond memories.  From the entire family of Morris V. "Mo" Cummings.

My sincere condolences to Robert Jr, Betsy, John and family to the passing of your beloved father. Bob was truly a faithful patriarch of your family.
I was honored to work for his construction company(88-93) for 3 1/2 years and his keeping me employed when hard times came in the economy by doing various duties was appreciated. Upon my separation from his employ, I was able to begin my construction company. I owe much gratitude to the business expertise gained by observing his example. He is the closest person who I could consider a business mentor. RIP Mr. Harris.

R.I.P. Mr. Harris. I love you like a father. We had a great bond, and I loved every minute of it. I know you at peace now and with your wife Joan. Please watch over family, they are wonderful people. Love, Your Adopted son Justin "Jason" Morales
