The world lost one of the good ones.
His family their husband, father, grandfather and more.
The athletes lost their coach, referee and umpire.
The students lost the man who showed what respect meant.
The school staff lost their friend, colleague and leader.
Law enforcement is without his poise and demeanor.
EMS lost the quick and critical thinker.
The HAZMAT crews lost their guru.
The fire service lost a true brother.
Ted Harris was a legend, a man among men and a friend to all who knew him. He taught so many young firefighters what was needed to become an old firefighter.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Harris family.
