Dr. Harris was a professional in every sense of the word. I was truly honored to work beside him as a student nurse and then as a graduate. He will be remembered forever for his contributions to excellent patient care
delivery and the provision of student and colleague teaching.

Dr. Harris was our family's doctor for three generations. You couldn't have asked for a better physician. I remember a Marcus Welby quality that made me comfortable as a child. I even remember when he came to the house back in the 50s to see my grandmother. Med schools are not making Dr. Harris-es anymore. He did his ob well.

Mel was a physician's physician. He was a major factor in delivering excellent healthcare to the residents of Stark County. He was a friend who will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

He raised a wonderful family who continues to do wonderful things, thanks to his wonderful parenting.

It was a privilege to know him and to work with him.
