Richard Henry Harris

Richard Henry Harris (83) of Bountiful, Utah passed away October 30th, 2017.  He was born May 9th, 1934 in Grande Prairie Alberta Canada, the second child of Doris May Thompson Harris and Ormonde Butler Harris.

He is survived by his immediate family including his precious wife Jean Ada (Goodfellow) Harris their six children Karen Nickl (Mario), Douglas (Beverley), Brad (Janina), Richard (April), Steven (Becky), Barbara Comish (Camron) and their families. He is also survived by his sister Carolyn (Harris) Cragun, her husband John and their family.

In addition to raising an accomplished family Richard enjoyed three very separate but nearly equal 20-year long careers:  1st as a senior executive with IBM Canada, 2nd as the managing officer of the FranklinCovey company in Canada and 3rd as an adored Davis County School Bus driver.

Richard and Jeanie shared many great experiences traveling extensively throughout the world and moving their household many times.  Everywhere they went they formed lifelong friendships.  In their senior years they served as Bountiful Temple ordinance workers and later as LDS missionaries in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where they provided direction, leadership and organization to Church members and oversaw several important humanitarian projects.

Richard once commented that any measure of success he may have achieved in his life, he owed entirely to his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
