-In Memoriam-

Our friend Richard Harris, husband of Carol, died peacefully at home Friday, August 19, 2011, in the midst of his family and good friends. We remember his joy with children when he helped during many store celebrations and especially when he regaled them as Dumbledore.

He pastored Congregational and United Church of Christ congregations in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Southern California, Hawaii, and Mexico. He taught psychology, sociology, marriage & family, philosophy, and religion at several community colleges as well as Chapman University, UCSB, Allan Hancock College, La Verne University.

Richard was very active in the local community, consistently pursuing and communicating a passionate commitment to the work of peace because he had experienced the horrors of war. He was in leadership in the United Nations Association, Heifer Project, AARP, peace groups and many civic projects. He produced and hosted hundreds of interviews on television. From 1994 until the end of his life he was a vital developer of the community at Pilgrim Place.

We give thanks to God for the good life of Richard Harris. The memorial service will be held in October, the date has not yet scheduled. His wife Carol and his children can be contacted at 640 Alden Road #1, Claremont CA 91711.
