Sad News, Harris Has Passed

[VDL_Piper]

I was thinking of Harris this past week. I never found him abrasive as I enjoyed how he spoke his mind. I think he was often a bit abrasive here to "bust balls". Harris was a great friend and I miss our regular get togethers here in Sarasota. He provided more laughs for me than any other person I've ever met.

I will tell a Harris story. Around 20 years ago, we met up with 2 other Cigar Family friends to attend a herf in Rockford. After partying rather heavily the previous night, we were wolfing down breakfast at an IHOP when this moron manager came over, interrupted us and started trying to be funny by telling really lame jokes. Harris never looked up, just kept eating, After about a minute of the stupidity, again, without looking up, Harris said "Get the Fuck out of here". The delivery was priceless, I spit a mouthful of pancake out on my plate. Vintage Harris.

Yeah abrasive was probably the wrong word, forthright, spoke his mind would be a better choice. I've just been reading his posts and laughing like a drain but also noting his care of members and answering questions along the way. I've just found a great post of his with a list of fake, coin and rope tobaccos he liked along with info on what time of day he liked to smoke them. I will post it once I find it again for prosperity.

It's really great, heartwarming actually, to see Harris remembered so fondly.

Here is the post on flakes etc, seems to me very little has changed in 13 or so years and everyone would be satisfied with this list.

This makes me sad. The world just got a bit less classy. Harris had such a great attitude and outlook, always spoke his mind, and could disarm anyone with his humor. I, for one, will miss him! RIP, Sir.

I was active here before then and had many great conversations with him. I just recently started coming back on here and didn’t know he had passed. I’m thinking now of a few other names I haven’t seen since returning.
