Mr Harris was a great man and boss I spent twenty one years with him. Little did I know his beautiful granddaughter Meadow and my son Wilkie Jr would go to school together and become friends. She is sweet one of my fondest memories was one morning I decided to test him was supposed to be at work @ 8 am I stepped in @ 8:30 to the staff meeting I ended up in time out for a week I didn’t try that anymore. He will be missed 🌹💕 Ethel Berry
Our father Stan Dolinar and Frank were good friends while living at Larksfield. They especially enjoyed sharing their fish stories. We miss them both! David Dolinar and Diana Dolinar Thomson
