He loved his family, working his collection of animals and was known by many by the "egg man". He was a member of Union Grove Church of Christ. Instead of traveling overseas, Mr. Harris chose to apply his mission work for Christ to be held locally by giving a helping hand to others in need.

Harris, Sr. and his wife Corry of Pantego; a nephew who he helped raise and considered as his son: Junnie Harris and his wife Jackie of Winterville; four grandchildren: Walter J.
