Obituary of William A. Harris
“Bonsai serves as a powerful symbol of nature’s resilience and humanity’s creativity. Even a tiny Tree in a pot can leave a lasting impression on those who witness its beauty.”
Our dad was like that, a small human in a big world, but he never lost his resilience or creativity and loved sharing it with everyone around him. William (Bill) Arthur Harris born November 4,1953 passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 26, 2025. He graduated from Canandaigua Academy, class of 1972. He was a Vietnam veteran who proudly served in the Navy aboard the USS Midway, working on jet engines and on the flight deck. He also helped refugees escape Saigon at the end of the war. He was a master mechanic at area Ford dealerships. In his later years he enjoyed spending time with his family, creating ecosystems such as reef tanks and terrariums, assembling models and cultivating bonsai trees. He was a loving father, grandfather and friend. He will be always loved and missed dearly.
Survived by his children Christine (Steve) Corey, Rebecca Flynn, Jessica (Kirk) Yeager, Sarah (Eric) Yeager, Christopher (Marisa) Harris. His grandchildren Michael Bellis-Williams, Brian Bray, Travis Williams, Sophia Bray, Kelsea Ames, Austin Ames, Cassidy Ames, Iyric Yeager, Jareth Yeager, Hunter Harris and great grandchildren Carter Bellis-Williams, Kashton Bray. His sisters Carolyn Parsons and Teresa Cavanaugh. Predeceased by his loving friend Sheila Flynn and great grandson Connor Bellis-Williams.
