I'll always remember Mr. Harris as the coolest dad in the neighborhood where I grew up. Not only a Fireman, but a car guy's car guy. I remember my ride in his hot rod Ford van like it was yesterday. RIP

Carl was a wonderful friend to many, and he loved God. My heart goes out to his family. My deceased husband Jake Musser and his father Lt. Kenneth Musser had the great fortune of working with him on the Columbus Fire Dept and thought the world of him. I had the honor of meeting him at church, and his beautiful family. Full speed ahead Carl, and God is watching over your loved one's. Bless you.
