I just learned today of Jack's death and I am very saddened by it. What a very fine man he was. I always loved him. He had such a kind and warm hearted way about him. I will so miss the glow from his smile on Oceanfront Ave. at the beach.

Dr. Harrison was a warm and loving man who always made me feel welcome both in the conversations we shared and as a part of his family. I know he always kept my brothers and I in his thoughts and prayers just as we now keep him and all his closest loved ones in ours. My sincerest condolences on the loss of a truly wonderful man.

I grew up spending many a weekend playing golf with Dr. Harrison and my father, Campbell Stalker. Whenever I got paired with Dr. Harrison, I tried extra hard to win the match b/c I truly enjoyed the good natured competition, and watching my father & Dr. Harrison settle up at the end of the day. Whether it was a quarter or a dollar, the pain on my Dad's face and the joy on Dr. Harrison's were fun to behold. Dr. & Mrs. Harrison were incredibly kind to my family; I am grateful for having known him.

Dr. Harrison was a friend and my doctor that kept me well in my years at St. Christopher's School. He and his family always reached out to help the wrestling team of the school and provide the best of everything for family and friends. He was the main reason I never had any serious circulation problems and I will always be gratful for him for his friendship, humor and willingness to serve others. He will be missed. God Bless a wonderful man.Dick Kemper

Dr. Harrison was a great friend to my dad and our family. After my dad passed away this past Fall, he sat with us and took care of us as if we were his own family. He was a kind and good soul. We love him for being so good to my dad and to us, and we'll miss him alot. I am certain that he and my dad are looking after us all from above.

Jack was a loving man, consumate gentleman, and caring physician. I appreciate the welcome he gave me into the Harrison family, as well as the continued care he showed to me. As Randy said, he was the role model for respect and honor to all people. We have lost a truly good man. May God grant comfort to all who mourn him.

Dearest Dad, we will all miss you. Your relaxed compassion put us all at ease, and always made us feel welcome. We learned much about life and living from your example. With love and affection,
