Robert Lee "Rob/Robbie" Harris
1963 - 2020

Robert Lee "Rob/Robbie" Harris, 57 passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully at his home on Monday, February 17, 2020. He was born on January 8, 1963, the son of Lee and LouAnn {Laubert} Harris.

Rob will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 30 years, Teresa; daughters Brittany (Kevin) Bittner, Megan (Zach Cunningham) Harris; grandchildren Abigail Cunningham, "Lil" Kevin Bittner, Margaret Bittner, and one on the way, Maryann Bittner; sister Carol (Joe Maddox) Harris; brother Michael Harris; many extended family members and friends.

A graduate of Waterloo High School, he was skilled in landscape construction, his designs were beautiful and creative and enjoyed by many. He worked for various landscape companies and did work on his own throughout his career. He was retired at his passing. He loved going fishing and hunting and spending time with his family. His wife was his soulmate and he loved her more than anything. Robbie’s loving heart and sense of humor will be remembered by all. He could make anyone laugh and told the best stories (Tom the Turkey and Bob the Hog Dog were his favorite to tell). Nobody could tell a story like he did.

Per his wishes, cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Life will be held on March 7th, 2020 at the Randolph Town Hall, 1639 OH-44, Atwater, OH 44201 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Food and refreshments will be served. In lieu of flowers, please send condolences directly to Rob's family.
