Edward Charles Harris

Dean Harris, I just found out that you passed . I will always remember your kindness and integrity in all your actions in the Library School program. You were the only person who reached out to me when I lost my daughter. You lived a full life and showed love and kindness to all the people you came in contact with. May your gentle soul rest in peace perfect peace and may God give Vivian and the boys the strength to go on with out you Elsie Okobi

On his desk when he was Dean, Ed used to have a sign that read "No good deed goes unpunished." It was certainly ironic in his case, as he did so many good things for our department, and I don´t think he was punished. In fact, he was rewarded by those who worked with him. It was an honor to have worked with him at Southern. May his memory be a blessing. His life surely was.

Will miss you Ed. Appreciated our conversations.

Sending love and condolences to the family of Ed, with wonderful memories of a special man.

I knew Ed as both a colleague at Southern Connection State University and a friend from the mid-1970s to his passing. In both relationships, you could trust in what Ed said and how he acted . His work shines with all he achieved at Southern. His friendship will go far beyond this moment. He always made you feel present in the moment and find humor in life.
