Ray "Jiggs" Harbour

Whenever I take my dog, Cooper for a walk in the woods, I think of Mr. Harbour and his love of dogs and nature. I enjoyed being in his Earth Science class at Portage Central. I used his lessons and approach to teaching Science when I taught my fourth graders. My heart and thoughts go out to the Harbour family. He was a genuinely great man and I know he is missed.

Mr . Harbour made the world a better place with his friendliness, smile and curiosity! I miss him!

I think about Mr. Harbour a lot! I always loved his smile and twinkling eyes! His demeanor and bubbly personality always made me smile. I also think of Estelle and his family a great deal. Sincerely, Michelle Kounelis

He was the best science teacher. Thank you for all you did.

Mr. Harbour was my Earth Science teacher at Portage Central High School and I loved being in his class! He was an amazing teacher because he connected with each student. It was obvious that he believed in each student's ability to learn and do his or her personal best. I will always remember Mr. Harbour's great smile, laugh, warm sense of humor, and genuine interest in his family, friends and students' lives. He and I enjoyed talking about our shared love of traveling and dogs. My heart...

Sis, Lisa, Chris & the Harbour Family,

What a wonderful person Ray was to everyone he came in contact with. He had kind words for all. I go along way back with Ray to my high school years at Portage High School when he assisted Jim Hart. A lasting friendship developed through out the many years that I was blessed to share life experiences with this extraordinary individual. Thank you Ray for being in my life! What a wonderful friend.
My family always felt welcome in the Harbour...

You were a tremendous person, thank you for always being there with a hello and a smile when we would run into each other during school year(s). Thank you for also teaching me to drive.

Our deepest sympathies.
Dick and Gina Beatty

I am so sorry to hear about Rays sudden passing. And I'm sorry that I missed the memorial. Ray was a bright light in this world, and I have fond memories of our camping trips and the time that we all shared together growing up. I think of you all every time I look through the old photographs. They hold a special place in my heart. Your family made my childhood so memorable and special. Sending you all love.
