Obituary
Herbert A. Harris, 81, beloved husband for 3 weeks short of 60 years to Sandra (nee Rakowsky), loving father to Arnie (Nancy), Susan (Brad) Kovin and David (Julie); proud grandfather to Sam (Jessica), Abby, Jenna (fiancé Matt Bauer) , Becca, Josh, Morgan and Wesley; tremendously proud great grandfather to Theo Morton; dear brother to Shelia Landsman; caring uncle to many and friend to so many more. From his humble beginnings in East Rogers Park, Herbie started a small glass shop in 1961. Because of his work ethic and desire to provide for his family, Herbie grew that business and was truly recognized as a Chicago homebuilding industry legend. Much of Herbie’s success was due to his zest for life. When he walked in a room his smile and flowing white hair was hard to miss. His smile was infectious, and he loved his own jokes.

Herb was my landlord in the 1980’s at his center in Arlington Hts. He was a wonderful person.We would run into each other at restaurants both here and in Florida. I am sorry for your loss. May his memory be for a blessing.
