Mr. Harrison was an automotive enthusiast who spent over 35 years investing his time and talents to antique cars. His passion and knowledge of antique cars was known throughout the community. Mr. Harrison could spend hours talking with other fellow enthusiasts about his life-long work on these cars. As much as he loved his automotives it was second to his love for his family, especially his grandchildren. His dry wit and humor served him well when he joked with his grandkids and it delighted him to aggravate them with his playfulness. Mr. Harrison was a strong and intelligent man who loved to debate whatever the cause, which brought on his love for reading. Strong, determined and stubborn at times he was certainly a man's man.
