I had the privilege of calling Harris my good friend for 42 years. What a great man and good friend. He will be missed by all.

I am 94 years old. Harris was my baliff for Judge E.A. Wright in the State Court when still a law student. I loved him like my own son. Judge Wright and I were guests at his and Helen's wedding.
Harris loved his Lord and I look forward to meeting him soon for a long and happy reunion. Blessings to you, Helen.

I had the pleasure of meeting Judge Hines when my oldest son played football with Clay. I knew when I first met him and his beautiful wife that they were a special couple.

My heart absolutely breaks for his family. I'm sure their friends and our community will wrap them in as much love and comfort as we can. This will take a long...
