Weldon Lemar Harris

To Weldon L. Harris
My brother from another mother, it is been a year now since you parted from us. I can speak for the rest of the family it has been a hard one. I know God has you in his Special Choir singing with all the great ones that passed I will see you again someday.

Mr. Weldon Harris provided my first wonderful introduction to musical theater with his memorable roll as Ben Franklin in SWHS's '1776' and as Nicely Nicely (I think that was the character's name) in 'Guys and Dolls' As a little boy, I was COMPLETELY captivated by his energy and talent. I feel incredibly sad to learn that he passed. I'm consoling myself certain that he made countless lives better. Keeping him and the family in my thoughts and prayers.

To all who have sent their blessings to my family, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Seeing so many people from my father's past, people from SWHS and Morehouse college reaching out and remembering his legacy only makes his memory that much stronger. He is a man, a son, a husband, and most certainly, a father that will be truly loved and missed.

I just heard about Weldon's passing, and I am so sorry. I have some very fond memories of Weldon. He was a warm and funny guy, with such an awesome talent. I had to smile in reading Richard's tribute to Weldon. My earliest high school memories are of Weldon, John and Richard and the VW beetle. Our rides to Greater Hartford Youth Chorale on Monday nights, were filled with fun,laughter, and of coure, singing. I know Weldon is in heaven with John, singing "Freddie's Walkin." I will keep...

My two best high school tenor singing buddies, John Argenta and Weldon Harris are now "rock'in the boat" in heaven. I imagine their cruising around in Weldon's old VW Beetle.
It is amazing that imprint on your life from creating music with others. I have clear visions of singing but mostly laughing with these two friends as if I were 18 years old again. As I watch my own high school children sharing music with their friends, I think back on many fun times with Weldon and the gang. ...

I remember, as a child, going to the SWHS musical programs and Weldon's flawless singing voice. My sister even had an album that the choirs had made, and I remember listening to it over and over and over again, beacause I couldn't get enough of Weldon's solo performance in a song about Peace, Love and the world being a better place. It had such a major effect on me!
Donna, my old friend, I extend my sympathies to you and your family.
