Circumstances: perotinitis & sepsis
Eric Harris was an accomplished healthcare provider in many different roles. Shoreman in the Coast Guard, EMT/firefighter, paramedic, and physician assistant. He devoted his entire adult life to serving the community and in doing so he is regarded as a beloved friend and colleague. He will be greatly missed.
Eric was an avid gun collector but rarely shot any of them. Never understood that. Not many people know he was a trained chef. If anyone had meals with us are probably not surprised.
He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Leah, and stepdaughters Marissa and Sunny, plus 5 step-grandchildren. Additionally, by his brother Greg and sister Denise.
