You was joy to have as a friend and the fun times we had at choir rehearsal with the Youth choir. You truly loved sharing your talent and we loved sharing the time with you. I will miss our long talks on the phone and the laughs we shared. Rest in Peace my friend

The passion Mr. Harris had for music and for teaching has impacted many people over the years. He was one of my favorite music teachers of all time. Mr. Harris even made having to go to school during the summer at VUU´s Upward Bound Program fun and exciting. You could be yourself, express yourself, vent when you needed to, or be filled with God´s love and joy during music classes with Kool-Aid (as we called him). Mr. Harris made me learn to appreciate practicing and ultimately becoming a better musician. Thank you for caring and sharing sir. Rest In Paradise.
