Obituary of Frederick Grainger Harris

HARRIS, Frederick Grainger Born in Windsor, Ont., January 14, 1947. Passed away peacefully on September 4, 2010, with his family by his side, after a courageous battle with cancer. Fred was a devoted husband to Paula and beloved father of Rachel, Rebecca and Michael. Dear father-in-law of Chris Djarmocky, Garth Jackson and Apryl Harris (nee Robichaud). Loving Zaida to Luke and two grandchildren on the way. Fred was predeceased by his parents Frederick and Irene Harris, and will be sadly missed by his sister Margaret and brother-in-law Art Latimer, and aunt Margaret Roddy and Don Roddy. He will also be missed by his nieces and nephews Matthew Nelson, Lisa Mogg, Lindsey Thornton and Shaun Jones, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Debbie and Al Thornton, as well as many friends and neighbours. Fred was a graduate of Kennedy High School and spent more than 35 years in the photo business. He was a devoted family man who will be remembered for his positive outlook, generous spirit and belief that we should follow our hearts and be true to ourselves. He was kind to everyone he met and loved to make people laugh. Always and to the end, Fred believed the world is inherently good, and though his passing leaves a huge hole in our lives, we will carry on his belief. As an expression of sympathy, a donation to the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society would be appreciated, as Fred was an animal lover. A memorial to celebrate Fred's life will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to the WINDSOR CHAPEL FUNERAL HOMES LTD. (BANWELL CHAPEL) 11677 Tecumseh Rd. E. Windsor ON (519)253-7234.
