Richard Harbour Obituary

Richard "Dick" Harbour, Auburn, died Monday (1/16/06). Born: Sabetha, Kan., (4/6/51) to Leon and Oleta (Jack) Harbour. Husband of Pamela Harbour.

He grew up in the Stella area and graduated from SE Consolidated High School in 1969. He was a great jokester and storyteller. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who loved to ride horses as well as being an amateur bull rider. He farmed for many years and worked at Auburn Consolidated Industries in Auburn until his heath began to fail. Richard's greatest achievement was his six children, and his proudest moments were his eight grandchildren, who thought the world of him.

One can't say Richard didn't fight the good fight. His bravery and courage should be a great lesson to us all.
