Not sure what to say?

Nat was the "Commissioner" of the Meat Bird Hockey club for over 20 years. Nat played until he was over 75 years old with men as young as 24 years old. Despite his age he was always in great position on the ice and would score a goal every once and a while. When Nat did score it brought cheers and stick tapping on the ice in recognition of his age. No one loved hockey more than Nat Harris. Nat is and always will be the greatest Meat Bird Hockey Player ever. Sincerely, Chris MacLean.

I had Mr. Harris as a math teacher and hockey coach. At that age I found Mr. Harris both annoying at times and funny. Everyone had a nickname from your association with him. Mr. Harris was truly an educator, who molded teenage boys into men. My condolences to his wife and children. He was a good man.

I played hockey with Nat for the last ten years he played with the "Meat Bird". Nat loved being on the ice and was still a very good player. Every once and a while a new guy would knock him down and both benches would yell at the guy who did it. Thank you to the Harris family for letting us play with him as long as we did. Sincerely yours, Chris MacLean,
