Doug and I started first grade together at St John's Cathedral School together in about 1944. His mom and dad, Madeline and Floyd were almost surrogate parents to me in those early years. We continued school together until we graduated from Memorial High in 1956. We were close in those primary grades. Doug went on to be a fine man who contributed much to this world. May he rest in peace.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I also met Dr. Harper as our Ombudsman at our Facility. He was a devoted man, visiting our residents weekly and patiently listening to their concerns. I didn't have the chance to tell you how much I value all your personal and professional advice. You will be greatly missed.

I have known Dr. Harper as our Ombudsman. He comes to our facility every week as volunteer to check on our residents to make sure they are safe and treated with dignity. He is soft spoken, patient and compassionate.
I always look forward for his visit because I know that I can rely on him.
He had taught me a lot of things on how to handle challenging behaviors.
It was a honor to know you Dr. Harper.. Thank you for making a difference!!!! Rest in peace .

My mom was a patient of Dr Harpers in the early 2000's. She had Alzheimers disease, and he was always so kind and gentle with her. I remember how he would look into her eyes when he spoke to her. He was always so respectful. My prayers to you Barbara, and to all of his children......
