Not sure what to say?

Bob and I were classmates at the U. of Iowa, my wife Carol and I spent time with Bob and Lynette during medical school days. Great couple and Bob was a outstanding physician.

I remember a generous man with a sharp mind and keen wit. Ever inquisitive, he sought out explanations, for earth science processes, that he observed. I enjoyed sharing my insights with him, immensely.

I often wondered if Dr. Harrison was still living. So sorry to find out that he passed away. Marlene and I worked for Bob and Lynette when they lived on Cambridge and later when they downsized and moved. Bob was a quiet, kind, compassionate man. He will not be forgotten! Joan Harris

RIP, Bob. You were a great guy to work for! Various castoff flowers and bulbs from your properties adorn our yard and garden to this day. They will continue to lovingly remind us of you and Lynette. Thank you!
Peace, Gene & Mary

This Doctor was the one who save my dads life. I worked at Blodgett when he was there. One of the greatest surgeon. I know

Thank you Doctor Harrison for all you did for your patients.

You will be remembered for ever.

Bob was always so very gracious when he sought me out at Blodgett. He, like my wife, was from "Ioway where the tall corn grows." We often joked about it.

He had a long and eventful life during which he did so many good things. I've missed him and will continue to do so.

I worked on the heart team starting in 1978 and worked with Dr Harrison until his retirement. He was one of the greats!! I knew his wife, Lynette, as well. My deepest sympathies to all of his family.

Dr. Harrison saved my dad's life....and my dad lived for several years past his heart surgery. Dr. Harrison was A brillant doctor, a caring man and a leader in the medical field of cardiology at Blodgett Hospital.He was so good to my dad and to our family along with Dr. Turcotte.God Bless You and a job well done here on earth...Sympathy and prayers to the family-Michael withey

Thank you Dr. Harrison for the added years you gave our son as you operated on him at the age of 8 months and he lived a great life until cancer took him at the age of 32 years and 11 months. This he had because of you and your wonderful team. This was done at Blodgett in 1964. Condolences to the awesome family he leaves behind.
