He had moved on to Cincinnati by the time I went to work there, but he and his legendary exploits help guide me through what turned into a 37-year career. I was saddened to hear of his passing.

He was never at a loss for something to share with me, and I was always delighted to hear from him. John was a consummate storyteller, in print and in person. What a collection of stories his life was! John had a knack for making everyone feel special, especially when he was beaming at you over a tall beer. God bless him!

He was a sweet, warm person and one of a dying breed of journalists. It truly is a shame to see him go at a relatively young age, as his mom lived well into her 90's and I personally was hoping John would do the same. I worked with John at the Boca News.

I’m so glad to have known him. And now he's on assignment in the great beyond. I wonder if heaven would be utopia enough for Generoso Pope, LOL. Well, John would be the guy you'd want to send to find out -- smart, dedicated to his work and a straight shooter. John Harris was a sweet guy and a great guy to work with.

Safuto Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:28:01 +0000 http://www.page2live.com/?p=14646#comment-12125 I was saddened to hear that John had died. I worked with him at the Boca Raton News in the late 1990s and even more than editing his outstanding writing, the joy of working with John was hearing him tell stories of his adventures in journalism. Does anyone remember the Coleco Adam system he was still using before he got into PCs? I had done a story on my old Atari system, and he invited me over the house to see his Adam, which he used to document his family's story. And he showed me the backup system he bought, another Adam system picked up at a clearance sale, complete with a price tag from Kay-Bee Toys. We kept in touch after I left the news and his last e-mail to me was Sept. 20, when he thanked me for putting him in touch with someone living in Bradenton whom he worked with at the Enquirer. The world's a sadder place without him. I was saddened to hear that John had died.

Lord knows we had plenty to laugh about. And about the Utopia assignment...word is that John sent a postcard with a topless South Pacific beauty and the message "I found it....." John, hope you spent your last years with a lot of smiles because you certainly brought them to other people.

He was always courteous and attentive to my PR pitches and one of the few gentlemen in the journalism business. He will be sorely missed by his colleagues and friends in the PR sector.
