Not sure what to say?

Bur was( as well as his wife) as good as it gets to just being good folks. His kindness, the way he explained things and overall just great personality were as good as it gets. His signature smile and laugh were the best! Rest well sir.

Bur was my early childhood friend and neighbor. He was fun and fearless. I´ve held him in my heart all my life. I´m sure he brought great joy to all who knew him! Thanks to all the Harris family for their kindness to mine. God Bless.

Bur was one of my first cousins. We shared trips to the family farm, birthdays, Christmas at my grandmothers, and many other family gatherings when we were young. He will be missed by all of us! May he rest in peace.
