Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.~ Scotts Funeral Home
Please accept my heartfelt condolence on the loss of your loved one. My family and I have found comfort in the Bible's promise of a time when death will be no more; -
"And He (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:4.
May the memories of your loved one sustain you until God's promises are soon fulfilled - "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day."- John 6:40.
Please visit www.jw.org for more of God's marvelous promises that 'is around the corner'.

I am sincerely sorry for your loss and I offer my condolences. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah promises of a time when all suffering and death will be a thing of the past. At Revelation 21:3,4 it says in part "...And He(God) will wipe out every tear form their eyes, and DEATH will be more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." You can be assured that you can see your dead loved ones again.

I offer my condolences for your loss and I deeply sympathize with you. There is hope, however. In the Bible, our loving God Jehovah promises of a time when there will be no suffering. That scripture is found in Revelations 21:4 which reads: "And he(God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." What a wonderful hope that is!!

Joanne Temple~ Joanne Temple Norfolk, VA
I was saddened to learn of Stanley's passing. We both had very similar pathways through life. I too graduated from Va Tech in 1968, and was an Engineer. We met in the classes we took here as we both worked on our MS degree. Both he and I were active in the Engineering community thru RJEC and we both pursued careers in Plant Engineering at times.
We both became Professional Engineers and to both of us being a Professional was much more than Titles and Degrees. It was trying to learn as much as you could about your profession and being the best you could be at it. It was the constant pursuant of Excellence. Stan was a Professional in every sense of the word.
In the many times we were around each other it was clear that we both had very similar hopes and dreams. And providing for, and protecting, our families was our main pursuant.
Nothing can replace his loss ... but I imagine that his hope is that he has passed the Torch to all of you in his Family ... and to the many, many, lives that he touched. He was a good Engineer and a good Man in every sense of the Word. He will be missed.~ Steve Harris Midlothian, VA
To the Harris family,
We send our sympathy and love. God has chosen to take Stanley home so that he could rest and tell him about his accomplishments on earth. He will be as close as your heart do not worry just keep those wonderful memories alive and you will never be alone.

Hardenia and I wish to offer our sincerest condolences to Gladys and the family. Stan was one of the first of the few people of color that I met on the Virginia Tech campus when I arrived in 1967 and through his friendship and his contacts at Virginia State College(University), we were able to start a chapter of Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Inc at Va Tech; thus becoming the First Black organization on the Virginia Tech campus in 1968. He will be remembered by us as more of its FOUNDER than just a charter member. Rest in Peace Fellowman Stanley Harris.
~ Dr. & Mrs. Jim Watkins Hampton, VA
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Mr. Harris's family, on behalf of the members of the Virginia Society of Professional Engineers. Mr. Harris has been a member of the Society for over 40 years. He was an inspiration to me personally and inspired so many through his leadership. He most enjoyed seeing young engineers and students participate in the Engineer's Week celebration at the Science Museum of Virginia. His high moral and ethical standards came naturally to him, and his quiet kindness shown through to those fortunate to have known or worked with him.~ Rebecca Golden RUTHER GLEN, VA
Stanley Harris made so many of us proud. I was freshman at Va Tech in 1966 when I first met Stanley. At the time Stanley was an upperclassman and sort of a big brother to the approximately 30 black students enrolled at the time. We were all so glad to see him on campus because he took the time to talk to us "little freshmen". We admired him so much for all that he had already accomplished as a student and we adored him for giving us his friendship and advice on making it at Tech. He was truly a great friend and a trailblazer at Tech. To the family - Stanley made a big difference in the lives of many students and many professionals. I am so sorry for his loss. Rest in peace my friend. Dr. Linda Edmonds Turner~ Linda Edmonds Turner Boston, MA
Our Lord God in His Infinite Wisdom has removed another link from the family chain of the Mighty Green Dragons. Gladys, to you and your family, please except my heartfelt condolence for your loss. My prayer is that the Great Architect of the Universe will wrap His arms of love and protection around you and your family during this most difficult time. In our weakest hours, God is our strength. God will continue to Bless you and your family.

I had the honor of serving with Stanley during my tenure as Chair of the Richmond Joint Engineers Council, and we would often run into each other participating in various engineering-related community outreach events. He would always make time to say hi and had a kind word.
My sincere condolences on your loss, and my heartfelt thoughts to you and your family.~ Samer Meshreki Mechanicsville, VA
