I will allways remember Michael. He was my friend since high school. If not for Michael, I would have dropped out of college. He helped me catch up after an illness set my studies back. He was a great friend to me. May he be in Gan Aiden✡

I have met Michael mostly through the internet and had the opportunity to benefit from his teaching and research experience. He responded very kindly and helpfully to various requests that I and other colleagues had. He was an excellent and generous colleague and I cherish the opportunity I had to work with him and learn from him.

I am so sorry to hear about this. I was fortunate to work on several projects with Dr. Mike Harris in the past several years. He was always willing to help, a true mentor and an outstanding scholar. My condolences to his family.

Dr. Harris was my mentor in graduate school. I learned much from him about being a scholar and a good man. He was a true man of faith and he was always willing (often eager) to share about his faith and values. He is very respected as a scholar in his field and as a teacher in his university, but I'm sure he was appreciated most by those of us who knew him best, either through work as in my case or through other spheres of life.

I am so sorry that the world lost such a good man. I worked with him and took a continuing education course with him, and got to see both sides of him. He was an interesting teacher and a kind and friendly co-worker. I am going to miss talking to him at the coffee machine!! My condolences to his family.

I knew Dr. Michael when his first name was Moses. We were classmates in High School and college. He was one of my true friends. We were very close. I got very ill my Junior year of college, and would have dropped-out, if not for Michael. He got me through I/O Statistics and helped me to cope and eventually graduate. Michael inspired me. We both achieved our dreams and goals of being successful contributors in the field of Human Resources Management and I/O Psychology. Early on, Michael wanted to be the best, the expert. He was driven. He realized that goal in his lifetime. And he WAS the best. Not only in academics was he the best--- but most of all, he was the best as a human being. He was a real "mench" and a best friend. It's a great loss, he was taken much too soon, and I will dearly miss him and forever remember him. My condolences to his family. May you always be comforted by his memory and the good he did for others.

Very truly yours,
Marty "Doc" Wise

We express our utmost sympathy to the family of Dr. Harris. He was a good man, always friendly and with a positive outlook on life. He was able to see the good in each person and asked how we were doing, never complaining or even mentioning his own problems. (I was supposed to go see him this coming Shabbat with Yoni, but unfortunately it was not meant to be.) May his life be for a blessing and may each of us draw strength from the many examples of faith, hope and charity which were forever present in the life of Dr. Michael Harris.

Yours Most Truly,
Isaac Amon, as well as the Amon family

Dear Pat and Family

Michael was just the best. He was just so kind and interested in life and what was important. He was a good friend and I will miss him. May God be with you and know that He loves Michael as He loves you.

Sorry I cannot make the funeral today but I will be praying for all.

Kindest Regards
