Not sure what to say?

Paul & family,
Just heard about Mr. Harris. Sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts & prayers.

I am sorry to hear about Jimmy's passing. I met Jimmy when I moved into my home at Sparger Springs Lane. He was the best neighbor ever and was always very friendly to everyone. I will sure miss seeing him in the neighborhood. Be assured that my prayers are with the family.

I met Jimmy at the Duke Center for Living and although we supported rival schools( UNC snd Duke), we became friends not only in our workouts but also outside the CFL. Jimmy fought a brave fight and he will be forever known for his courage and friendly demeanor. We have lost a dear friend. My deepest sympathy to Kathy and his family. May he rest in Peace with God.

My memories of Jimmy and family goes back to 1957 when I met the "the boys of Roanoke Rapids"He was a dear childhood friend to my husband William and his brother Noah.
His friendly and kind manner will be missed. My deepest sympathy to the Harris family

Sorry not to have met Mr. Harris, but getting to know his son Paul as our secretary of the Friends of Fort Fisher, I can say that Mr. and Mrs. Harris must be some pretty great folks to have done such a great job raising Paul. No better legacy of Mr. Harris' life's work than children to continue that lifestyle of decency, caring and a friend to everyone he meets. We are so sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy. I pray God enfolds each of you in love and comfort. And that Mr. Harris has traveled safely on. Sincerely, John Paul Womble

Sad to hear of Jim's passing. We certainly enjoyed his friendship at Mt. Bethel....Pam & Larry Riley

I was very sad to learn of Jimmy's passing. I know there is a void now in the lives Jimmy touched, mine included. I am most grateful to have been given the opportunity to have known him.
Kathy, my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
