ROBERT GERALD HARRIS
Born October 11, 1938, Birmingham, AL- died September 25, 2011, Albuquerque, NM. A kind and gentle soul left us September 25 to journey to a better place. Bob died of complications of a massive heart attack, and is now at rest. He is survived by his loving wife and best friend, Cheryl Ann (Prekker Canard) Harris, of Albuquerque, his daughters, Teresa Harris of Catonsville, MD, and Brenna Harris of Salt Lake City, UT, his step-children, Robert B. Canard (Andrea) of West Jordan, UT, and Tracy Canard-Goodluck (LT) of Albuquerque, NM. He is also survived by 5 grandchildren who will miss their Grandpa terribly: Brandon Canard (Jessica), of Roy, UT, Bobbie Ann, Cassidie, and Cody Canard of West Jordan, UT, and Tawny Harris of Salt Lake City. Bob is also survived by brothers Michael (Kaye) and David (Nancy) and a sister Carol, brothers and sisters-in-law, his mother-in-law, Gladys Prekker, as well as many nieces and nephews. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Carlyle and Polly Harris of Birmingham, AL, and a brother Randy, also of Birmingham. Bob worked for over 32 years for Salt Lake City Corporation in the Transportation Department, where he supervised parking meter operations. He retired in 1994. He served in the United States Air Force from 1957 to 1961, serving in a field band. Bob loved music of all sorts, especially playing clarinet in the Murray Utah community band and the Albuquerque Concert Band. He played clarinet with a small group of friends every Wednesday, a highlight of his week. Bob also loved gardening and home remodeling. His favorite hangout was his workshop in the garage. He was a generous person, always helping someone with whatever needed to be done. He had a great sense of humor, and a quick wit. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Albuquerque Concert Band, PO Box 11205, Albuquerque, NM, 87192-1205. Cremation has taken place, and a memorial service will be held in the future. Arrangements are with Daniels Family Funeral Services, Albuquerque, NM. Robert's care has been entrusted to:
