Gene Harris was first and foremost a great man. He was fair and honest, a hard working and intelligent man that cared about his work and for those he worked with. Gene implemented and adjusted to change throughout his career and always seemed to stay on top of things. As I worked for ODOT most of the years I knew Gene, I always enjoyed a good working relationship with him as well as a friendship. He was one of those people whose word always meant something to me. I saw Gene as a teacher and mentor to so many throughout his career. Just like his alma mater, Gene Harris was always Loyal and True. His presence will be missed, but his mark on roadway construction will carry on for many years by the work he did and the people he touched…I was blessed to have known Gene Harris…to the family, may God bless you and keep you and your wonderful memories sustain you during this most difficult loss…thank you Gene…
