Dear Harr Family,
I would like to express my sympathy on the loss of Mr. Harr. I only talked with him a few times, but he was always very nice to me. I have been your neighbor at the other end of the "woods" my whole life and I am very sad to hear of your loss.

Dear Marjorie, Jackie, Jimmy, Jon, Ramona and precious grandsons Austin and Evan,

Ralph was a lot of fun. We enjoyed running in to you at the
mall and visiting. Marjorie, Ralph wore his love for you on his sleeve and it was easy to tell you were the light of his life. We always
knew by the way your dad spoke about you, Jackie and Jon, that he loved you both so very much and that he was very proud of you two.
Ramona, Ralph was pleased when Jon added you to their family and you know how much he treasured Austin and Evan.
We always knew before we opened the envelope that the Christmas card was from Ralph and Marjorie.
No one else had such beautiful handwriting as Ralph did.
Ralph was a pleasure to be around. He always had a twinkle in his eyes, a big smile on his face and he made time for others. He served his community well and we know he will be greatly missed.
We know you have many wonderful memories of good times with your husband, dad, father-in-law, grandpa and friend and we know he lives on in your hearts.
We will keep you in our prayers and ask God to put His wonderful, comforting arms round you. God bless each one of you.
Sam, Diane and Clay Montgomery

You can tell by the signing of this guest book that Mr. Harr was certainly a well thought of person by the friends, neightbors and community and that says a lot for a person.

I was so sorry to hear of Ralph's passing. He was in business with my dad, Roswell Bewley, and my brother, Kent, for many years. My sympathy to you, his family.

What a fine, fine gentleman!!
I left Bristol in 1981, but I never forgot Ralph. He made an indelible impression upon me and am sure on everyone he met.
I thank God for the memories!
My sympathy to you all,
Lil Gibson (aka sis bynum)

Ralph befriended me as a young lawyer when I first moved here with my family in 1985 and knew no one. If I needed a smile or some encouragement, I'd cross the street from my office and go visit Ralph at the Bristol courthouse.

Dearest Marjorie, Jackie, Jon, Ramona, Jimmy, and entire Harr Family,
We are very saddened for your loss. What a joy it was to be your friend growing up, Jackie, and to have known your loving Daddy. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, as we remember his compassion, laughter, philanthropy, and leadership to all of Sullivan County.

I got to know Ralph Harr over the 15 years I covered Sullivan County government for the Bristol Herald Courier, until late 2004, and continued to interact with him after I began working as a business writer at the Kingsport Times-News, in early 2005. I learned over the years he had many friends across all walks of life and political affiliations, had strong family ties, was a staunch supporter of Sullivan County and its economic development, a businessman who long owned and operated Bristol Auto Auction and a long-time chancery court clerk and master. In interviewing him, he often posed questions back to me. I remember the many times he would help forge concensus on the often divergent and sometimes contentious 24-member County Commission - once the Quarterly County Court - on which he served. I remember his sense of humor and interest not only in his commission district but all of Sullivan County.

I am very sorry to hear of Ralph's passing. I have many fond memories of our years together when we all lived at Steele's Creek. May God bless you, and we will be praying for you during this time.

It was good fortune to know Ralph, he was one of a kind and a real gentleman, my regards to family and friends

It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Harr on the County Commission. He will be missed by all of us.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Ralph was a frendly person who cared for others and his community. Our prayers are with you.
