Sad News, Harris Has Passed

This one is for Harris, rest in peace.

R.I.P. He will be missed. He was one of the few who spoke his mind with no filter and often hilarity ensued.

Oh this hit harder than I expected. Miss you already Harris! I would eye roll hard at half the stuff he posted, but I kind of loved that about him, such a wealth of opinion.

And yes, he was very considerate with his top virginia lists. I saw him taking time for each individual that stumbled into this hobby, providing good advice over and over again.

R.I.P Harris.

@hoosierpipeguy not sure if you are making it to the funeral? but if so, and if there is a book to write in, can you mention that the gang at pipesmagazine.com will miss him and his contribution greatly.

It's on my calendar, planning on being there. It's 20 minutes away. If there is a book, I will definitely add a note about his online friends from.PM. Thanks for the suggestion.

why do I feel like he'd be a little snarky about how sentimental we're all getting and judging us for not trying to get the best deal we could on his cellar? Somehow I doubt he minds his new state all that much. And finally hoping they let him take his collection and cellar where ever they took him.

Very sad to hear. It's hard to imagine the site without his posts.

My condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Harris and my deepest condolences to his family and friends. I always enjoyed his posts and the online character that he portrayed. Gonna fold and stuff some capstan blue in a jack howell in his memory tonight.

Thanks for letting us know Mark. I always enjoyed his business stories, stories about his year of extreme TAD, the competition with some other members on who could get the most tins of blend X and his passion for American made artisan pipe. Him and other forum members busting each other balls was entertaining.

Rest in peace Harris, my condolescens to your family and friends.

This stinks. I only knew him through his posting on here, but I always pictured him being a real cool dude. Out of all the people with amazing pipes on this site, I always thought the ones he'd post on the what are you smoking thread were the best of everyone's.

This kinda hits hard.
Never met the man, but racked up over 24 years of online banter.

Regardless of his handle here, I’ll always know Harris as TheMaster.

RIP Harris.

Dibs on his Butera Blended Flake….

Rip Harris. So sorry to hear. He will be greatly missed here.

 

[Strike Anywhere]

That’s too bad. Thank you for letting us know.

This has saddened me deeply.
My prayer is for peace and comfort for his family and friends.
May his memory be eternal.

Sad news indeed. I didn't know him but I did enjoy reading his posts.
R.I.P

 

[autumnfog]

Appreciated his writing. RIP.

 

[VDL_Piper]

Bugger, haven’t been here long but I loved his posts and as many have pointed out a giant in many ways. @hoosierpipeguy I‘m sorry for your loss, bloody good mates are hard to find. Please pass on my condolences to all his family and friends and I’ll say a prayer tonight for all concerned.

Sad news.

I had spoken to Harris by phone several times over the last decade (wow), typically when his forum shenanigans got him in hot water. On the phone, versus internet forum, you could see that he was a good person. He truly was the definition of a "Character". My thoughts will be with his family.

 

[judcole]

My condolences to those who loved him,

 

[pip01]

RIP brother. I very much enjoyed reading his posts and liked his taste in music as well. So sad. May God be with you.

RIP

A few days ago seen online it's difficult to believe ...
Sad but a part of life that won't miss any of us.
Let's hope he's in a better place now and we will meet again on the other side.
