Harold was born to the late Joel Clarence and Lillie Spain Harris in Rockingham County. He was a veteran serving in the United States Army, former owner of Harris Produce and in later years he served those who patronized the Harris Siding Company of which he owned. He was a faithful member and servant of East Side Missionary Baptist Church as a Deacon and Sunday School teacher. You could always find him at “Short Sugars” each morning having breakfast with his buddies and telling a funny story. For that matter, Harold got a kick from telling his stories everywhere he went. He was an avid golfer and won the Monroeton Club Championship in 1989. He also enjoyed going to the races. Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his son Randy Harris and brother Junior Harris.

Those left to cherish the memories of Harold are his wife of 68 years Adean Harris; son Todd Harris and wife Heather; grandchildren Michael Harris and wife Kendra, Casey Harris and Dusty Harris and wife Amy; great grandchildren Brianna Harris, Gage Harris, T.J. Hudson, Connor Hudson, Ryder Harris, Raylan Harris and Autumn Hudson; great great grandchild Maddox Harris; and brother Pete Harris.
