Emory C. Harrison Jr.

I was thinking of Emory and when I did not receive his usual Christmas card, I searched online and found this site. To Diane and Emory's family, please accept my and my family's condolences. I am saddened by his death.

Emory was my parents' (Addison and Eleanor Van Wagner) next door neighbor in Venice, and a good friend to all. He was there when my mother was dying in 2008, and he came to my dad's surprise 90th birthday party in 2010. Best neighbor ever!, according to my mom. I...

The photo shows Emory in 1954 in the fourth grade. As you can see, he was always happy and smiling. He will be missed.

Those of us from Cumberland High School where Emory grew up and excelled in everything he did are deeply saddened by his death. Our deepest sympathy to Diane, Becky and the rest of the family.

Wow, what an extraordinary man... Emory's life was full of outstanding accomplishments and adventure. It amazed me how Emory did not let his kidney failure hold him back from enjoying his blessings. I often think of the day we toured Richmond and found Emory's childhood neighborhood, and, of course, the first evening we shared wine, old memories and laughs in Venice. Emory was a very special friend, and I promise to think of him often.

He was a gentleman and courageous until the end. Condolences to Diane and his family.
Proud to call him my friend.

My condolences to you, Diane, and his family. He was best sailing friend to my husband Jim and I've thought of you and Emory many times recently.

Our Condolences go out to Diane and the Harrison Family.
We were blessed to have met such a nice man. Emory was a happy and knowledgeable person. My wife and I loved Emory's stories. We will surely miss Emory.
