OBITUARY
Gerald Howard Harris, 78
Dear brother of Stephen (the late Doris and Starr Coyle), David Harris and Sheila (Michael) Jackowiak. Proud uncle of Rebecca (Andrew Ketterer) Harris, Shira (Jonathan Ridley) Harris, Jacob Harris, Kimberly Odisho and Jason (Melissa)Jackowiak. Fun loving great uncle to Daniella Odisho, Matthew Odisho, Michael Odisho, Lukas Odisho and Asher Ketterer. Great great uncle to Max. Gerald (Jerry) Harris was the first-born child of Pearl and Sydney Harris. The oldest of 4 siblings, he was born and spent his life in West Rogers Park. Jerry particularly loved spending time with his family. He was a fixture at weekly family dinners always bringing something special to put a smile on the children’s faces. Jerry was quiet and kind and always had a good sense of humor. He will be missed and remembered by all of us. May his memory be a blessing.
