Not sure what to say?

One of my two best teachers in high school. Excellent human and I'll never forget him.

Best Father in Law I had ever had...period! Funny enough they say when you marry one's daughter that you marry her entire family. I actually looked forward to that privilege with this family. Jim at first kept me at a arms length when I met him and I can understand since I had a interest for his daughter at the time. He asked me early on why I loved his daughter and even though I was so young and dumb in life up to that point and clueless it struck me this was a man of love and virtue and was...

Hi Carole, Jim, Laurie and Harbour family. I am sorry for your loss. I really liked, respected and appreciated "Mr. Harbour". Not coming from a Christian family, I valued his advice. I remember when he and your mom dropped us off to start hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail he talked through Psalm 121 with us. I was blessed to do things with your family as well.

Great teacher, and a great person. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

My husband Tim and I had the great pleasure of knowing Jim the last 4 years of his life. He exuded love and kindness to everyone. I will always remember his kind eyes, hug and smile as he handed out the bulletins at church faithfully. When he would share his wisdom and thoughtfulness before communion it made everyone pause and reflect in a way I haven't seen many other people be able to do. He will be missed. Carole and family, we are playing for peace that surpasses all understanding that...

Jim ,You will be truly missed here but lots of people will be glad to see you in heaven. You and Carole have been such great friends! Loving , caring,and always a great sense of humor. We have learned so much from you but most of all you have been a loving friend. A man like you doesn't come often . Thanks for touching the lives of our family.

Mr. Harbour was an amazing teacher and made a huge impact on my life. But he was more than just our AP Biology teacher, his heart was driven by a love for Christ and the desire to share him with us in Young Life. He challenged us to be better students, but also better people. His love of science spurred in me the desire to study environmental science and to make a difference. And if that wasn't enough, he shared his passion for cross country skiing by spending his Saturday's with us at...

Jim was a warm gentle man who lived his faith daily. He had a wonderful way of making people feel loved and valued. He was always good for a hug and a prayer. A true man of integrity. He will be missed, but, will leave a forever mark on my life. May Carol and family find peace and mercy for their broken hearts.

Mr. Harbor helped me, like so many others. He took an interest in me and rolemodled the kind of adult I hoped to become. It was an honor to be his TA and I cherish the conversations we had, when I needed a sounding board most. My deepest condolences to Jim's family. I hope the memories of his kind loving eyes and warm hugs along with sharing his hilarious stories will act as a balm to your heartache. Thank you, Mr. Harbor, I miss you & will never forget you, or the Range Cow.
