BIG BIRTHDAY WISHES BOB! Bob and I met in the early 80’s, when he was in Vancouver on business. He had called a friend to get together that evening. Michael had a dinner date with me that night, and invited Bob to join us. Of course, Bob’s conviviality added to a very pleasant date. At… Continue reading Carolyn Johns

Dear Bob I hope you are having as much fun today as we seemed to be having that day in 20?? at Tremblant. It has been a long friendship. When I think about it, in 1970 you became my employer, then you fired me, we then became some kind of ennemies but when we met… Continue reading Francyne Lange
Bob has always been the most positive guy in the room, and a natural connector. I owe him a lot. He was one of the first people to believe in–and promote!–Just For Laughs when I got English-language things started there back in 1986. But the thing I owe him most for is taking a chance on… Continue reading Andy Nulman
Hi Bob, Happy birthday, 80 years old, unbelievable how time has flown by at such a speed. Thank you for all the funny and interesting things you always come up with in Harris Herald, where do you find them? Keep safe; much love, Mexine
Well, what can I say? Best boss ever. I looked forward to every day at Canada Business Centers. Made lots of friends for life. He was the most generous boss in the world. He often called my mom to chat with her over the years, and that meant the world to her. I was always… Continue reading Lori Cheresnik

I heard that they were franticly searching for this when the Habs made the final this year.. I almost ratted Bob out.
Here is a short clip wishing our ‘Uncle Bob’ a very happy birthday. We had great fun and lots of laughs getting to our final take! I hope you and your families are all doing well. I’m sure the party will be a great success. We all feel very lucky to have your Dad in our… Continue reading Shirley & the Knapp Clan
Welcome to the 4 score club It has been my privilege to be associated with Bob for the past 30 years or more- hockey being our first contact then as part of a foursome in frequent golf games – years of monthly luncheons – email- phone- social occasions. etc. Certain plenty of occasions to appreciate,… Continue reading Bob Sullivan
Happy Birthday Bob. Endless gratitude is owed, first and foremost to you who made a huge Olympian jump from a commodity seller to a magazine publisher and of course also to the magazine’s associate editor Ann Hamilton, who has let a loose cannon like me in the hope that every once in a while I… Continue reading Hamo Abdalian
Hey Bob, Welcome to a very select and exclusive CLUB. Enjoy this great day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Next lunch at CHEZ MILOT is on me. Regards, John
Dear Alison and Greg— I’ve known your Dad since Greendale Marina days—early 60’s. He sometimes would visit us in Hudson when he was a sales rep for Facelle. Most years we’d have lunch around each other’s birthday–to catch up on the news and our kids’ lives and how we were doing in the dating life. We even took a… Continue reading Steve Doty
Our birthday wish for Uncle Bob!
Paul and I have had the great pleasure of knowing Bob for nearly 20 years. During those years we have enjoyed Bob’s gift of friendship, his enthusiasm, and his generosity. As I told Denise when I met Bob for the first time, “What a great guy!” And that observation has been confirmed repeatedly over the… Continue reading Betty & Paul
I first met Bob 14 years ago when he first hired me to be receptionist at the Execuspace branch in Pointe-Claire. He is, without a doubt, the most generous, kindest, fun loving exceptional boss it has ever been my privilege to work for. Even to this day, he saves all the crossword puzzles that he doesn’t… Continue reading Francine
Bob and I first met over 50 years ago when we all lived in Dorval. I suppose it was our wives who were responsible for our getting together and we are indebted to them. We stayed in regular contact until I departed for the US in 1974, but I have to say that over the… Continue reading Bruce
In the 80’s when your family visited Calabogie, Doug saved a log for Bob to add to the log house that he & the boys were building. The first picture shows Doug telling Bob to go over to the logs & pick one up & Bob is pointing to himself & saying ” who me?” Next picture he is hammering… Continue reading Cyndy Hicks

Back in 1993, I met one of the best businessmen and employers one could ever ask for (besides Donald trump, of course ?). Through the years, I was blessed to be surrounded by such a caring, thoughtful and generous man. On this special 80th birthday, I want to wish you all the happiness, health, love… Continue reading Donna Rucci
VERY BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY BOB. Where has the time gone? Eighty is hard to believe.

I want to wish Bob a very happy birthday celebrating a milestone 80th. I met Bob at Canada Business centres as a young salesman knocking on doors looking for prospective clients and landed in front of Bob. He had need of a machine and I was a newcomer. We ended up playing backgammon to see… Continue reading George Landau
Happy birthday Mr Harris… AKA Bob!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!I am a childhood friend of Denise’s (who happens to be my older sister Patricia’s best friend). She lived a few houses away from us in Westmount. I met Bob when he and Denise became an ‘item’. As I don’t live in the Montreal area any longer, I don’t get to see them very often. … Continue reading Barbara Dale
Happy Birthday Bob – in thinking about this milestone birthday and past memories, there are too many to put in this greeting. I recall well coming for my interview with you in October, 1974. I had applied for a new position through Drake Personnel, and secured an interview with you. You were looking for an… Continue reading Laurie Trueman
Happy 80th BLONDIE! We both wish you health and happiness today and always! Keep smiling and live it up Blondie!!Hugsxxx, Nathalie & Mike
Happy Birthday from the cousins in Spain!
Bob has spent a lifetime doing good turns for people, under the radar, never making a big noise about it. For me it was when I was at university, with various elements of life going chaotically wrong. Somehow I always seemed to wind up at the Harris’s when they were heading out to dinner somewhere.… Continue reading Kingsley
Bob in Three Photos Meeting you for the first time I dug out this photo of Greg and me from 1996. I think it was the first time I ever met you. And I am pretty certain I wasn’t allowed in the house until you made sure a few photos were snapped for the scrap… Continue reading Kathy
Dear Bob, As I close my eyes to reflect on the first time we met, I realise that I must have been just a baby taking my first steps! That was long ago: 55 years! What I remember most about our encounters is that you were part of the fun and magical memories of my… Continue reading Louise
Bob Harris was one of the finest defencemen to ever lace up the plastic Micron skates. Clearly, very few ever owned Micron plastic skates. His patented “spin around” move dazzled all of us who attempted to free the puck from his grasp. His moves could never be duplicated. Thank goodness, He was a legend. All… Continue reading Cec Welsh
Dear Bop (we got this from an Aunt in Switzerland who always called Bob “der Bop” because she couldn’t do a soft b at the end 😕 As you know we don’t celebrate our births or as Karin (my wife, your sister-in-law) always says “It’s the mother who should be celebrated for all of the… Continue reading Albin, Karin & Family
Happy Birthday Bob. It’s rather strange to be the same age as old people!!
The first time I met Bob was at 7560 de Lanaudiere St. about 60 years ago. First impression – that brush cut. The memorable stories and fond memories since that first encounter are too numerous to count. Many of my life experiences have included Bob. What I can say, is over the 60 years that I… Continue reading Nicholas
