Andy Lamar Harris

Andy Lamar "Stumpy" Harris, aged 84, left his earthly body and was greeted in Heaven by parents, Andy and Dorothy Harris; his former wife and best friend, Cindy; granddaughter, Somer; great grandson, Leyland; and great granddaughter, Toni.

Lamar grew up in the Rossville community and graduated from Rossville High School, class of 1959. Lamar was a member of Rossville First Church of Nazarene and attended Chattanooga Valley Nazarene. He was a retired Plumber and Pipe-fitter and a proud member of Local 43 for over 65 years.

He will always be remembered for his willingness to help anyone - people would say that dad probably made millions in his lifetime but he gave it all away.

Dad could turn almost any situation into a good time with his sense of humor and his hearty laugh. He loved God, his family, the Georgia Bulldogs, Christmas a good banana split.

Those Lamar leaves behind to cherish his memories are his son, Curtiss (Ashley) Harris; daughters, Lisa Harper, Wendy (Ricky) Wolfe and Misty Harris; son-in-law, Jason Pendergrass; his brother, Jim (Jan) Harris; his sister, Kathy (Eddie) Gilstrap; his sisters-in-law, Nancy (Ed) Seaver, and Ruth Espy; grandchildren, Keith (Kristen) Harris, Brianna Adams, Huey Adams, Blake (Katrina) Pendergrass, Megan Wolfe and Andrew Davis, Jody Harris, Sierra (Dustin) Leonard, Karrington Harris, Haven Leigh Harris, Victoria (Kenny) Motley, Montana (Liv) Pendergrass, Krymsin Harris, Maelee Harris, Ryder Harris, Charlie Harris, Johnathan Harris, Lena Harris and Ruby Harris; eighteen great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews and several dear friends.
