H B "Bub" Harris, Jr.'s Obituary
H. B. "Bub" Harris, Jr.
,
of Center,
passed away quietly
Saturday, August 31, 2013 in Houston after a lingering illness.
He was better known to his family and friends
as "Bub."
He is survived by his sisters,

three nieces, Pam Bentsen Havens and husband Tim, Margo Bentsen Falb and Susie
Bentsen Corrigan and husband Leo; nephew, Tommy Ralph, Jr.

Bub was born on November 3, 1934 in Center, where he attended Center High School. He excelled in sports, particularly football and tennis and then furthered his education by graduating from Baylor University and receiving his MBA from the University of Texas in Austin. His passion for learning and striving to improve one's self filtered down, especially to his great-nieces and nephews. Most of his life was spent in Houston, where he was involved in real estate and other investments. Besides his love for business, he enjoyed spending time with his family on the tennis court, at the Houston rodeo or sampling great restaurants. Bub was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Center. He knew the greatest legacy he could leave was his faith in God and relied upon Him to get him through the trials of his life. Bub's desire would be his passing would be believed as a promotion and all would celebrate life and the time left on this side of heaven would be filled with love, life, kindness, generosity, and doing the right thing in all circumstances.
The family would like to express their deepest thanks to Renee McGuire and Salvador Cruz for their compassionate care and friendship. In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to the American Cancer Society, the First United Methodist Church in Center, Texas or the charity of your choice.
Visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at Watson & Sons Funeral Home, Highway 7 East, Center, Texas. Funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at First United Methodist Church in Center with Rev. Joel McMahon officiating. Interment will follow at Oaklawn Memorial Park in Center.
