R.I.P.--73M819--Ron Harris

[Peaches]

@Peaches When I put my motorcycle helmet through an A$$holes CUCV windshield your Dad was the first to call me on my way home to give me sage advice. Keep your helmet on Steve.

And now Zout has passed and who could forget your Dad betting that he could flip a hamburger at Zout's house with his wrecker. He did it.

He is missed.

Oo I miss is since of humer thankyou

One of the best weeks that I had traveling was with Ron when we helped move a buddy from NJ to NE... Ron and I bobtailed a M915 back to NJ and he had me in stiches for the entire trip (minus one hill where we were really glad that he fixed the Jake brake before we hit the road...). I'll have to dig up a few more photos from that trip, but this one is proof that he and I were there...

Thank you so much I know he was the best

That trip was one of my best memories of Ron as well...... and for another return trip to NE from NJ, he agreed to drive one of my wheel chocks (ahem, cucv's).

I kid you not, he saw a plastic viking helmet sticking out of a box, grabbed it, and wore it on that trip in the cucv. He also messed with some guys by taking a bite out of a milk bone dog biscuit while giving them a dead stare-- that got some interesting reactions as well.

Then there was another time,on one of the convoys, we had an aggressive guy in a modern jeep flip us off as we went by and then try to cut Ron off-- he was driving one of my semis and sent the guy as he put it "on a path of new discovery". I like to think that guy got a lesson in respect that day.........

I really liked Ron and really do miss him.

I will share a prank I pulled on Ron several years before we lost him---- There used to be a website where you could type in a number and send an interactive voice message from Santa-- I chose Ron and he got a call from Santa telling him he would get his two front teeth for Christmas. I got to listen in on the conversation and the interaction was hilarious. I talked to Ron not long after and somehow the Santa thing got brought up. He was convinced he was talking to Wreckerman and thought Wreckerman was messing with him. In all fairness, the person playing Santa did sound alot like Wreckerman-- I eventually told him it was me and we had a good laugh after that one............ (Wreckerman, I do not know if I ever told you this, but if Ron pranked you back, no harm intended)........

Hi Amanda, welcome.

I met your father for the first and, unfortunately, last time at the 2014 GA rally. Somehow, I ended up first in Swiss' tent close to Ron's place and later, after Swiss came, had a small tent next to your father's TeePee.





We spent most mornings drinking coffee together. One of the best times of my life, and I was honored to have know you father, if even shortly.

Swiss and Mrs. Swiss (Tanya) did a phenomenal job with yesterday’s remembrance of Ron. Ron’s heart touched many as evidenced by those present yesterday as well as those offering up thoughts & Prayers on-line. Breaking of bread and spending time around the fire yesterday with the SS folks was real and meaningful.
In his own way, Ron taught us all many lessons. His knowledge, attention to detail, and passions always made an impression on me. For Me, I will say his name daily less I forget. Here’s to my Brother Ron.

Ooooo this is so beautiful thank you for you loving my dad.. Serena Harris. Serenaharris63@gmail.com
