INDIANAPOLIS – State Representative Earl Harris of East Chicago passed away on Monday, March 23, 2015.
He served as a state representative from 1982 until the time of his passing. He was 73.
Representative Harris was a mentor and friend to anyone in the Legislature who took the time to visit with him. He listened intently to your ideas and always gave an encouraging remark.
Representative Harris was, as State Representative B. Patrick Bauer remarked, “a calming influence.” I can hear Earl now: “You know….”
Peace to his lovely, devoted wife and their son. She was with him every day that we were in session. She sat on the hard bench along the wall and waited patiently for his day to end.
