William Harrison Obituary

William Thomas "WT" Harrison 85, born on May 15, 1925 in Cleveland, MS passed away on March 15, 2011 of natural causes at his current home in Tucson, Arizona. He is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Jean Harrison of 64 years, five children, Mary Kaehler, Brad Harrison, Jack Harrison, Eve Bentley and Susan Harrison; 11 much-loved grandchildren, 12 precious great- grandchildren. He is also survived by brother, George Harrison and "Sis" Barbara Andrews of Cleveland, MS. Family and close friends gathered at his home on March 20, 2011 in celebration of his life, listening to his vast music collection, walking down memory lane, looking at many happy times captured in family pictures, and enjoying his backyard desert paradise by the pool. Dad spent his entire life nurturing and protecting all living things that came into his path—family, friends, stray animals and any seed that he could put into a pocket and poke into the soil. Because of his love for weak and helpless animals, we ask that donations be made in his name to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Arrangements by HUDGEL'S SWAN FUNERAL HOME.
