FREEPORT — Charles Clarence Harrison Sr., 95, died surrounded by family on April 15.

Born in Bath, Jan. 3, 1916, a son of William Harrison and Nina Manchester Harrison, he grew up in Durham with his brother, “Let,” and the Clement family.  

He graduated from Freeport High School in 1936  and later served in the U.S. Army during World War II from 1940-45.

For nearly 60 years he worked at Logan for Painting, where he was a connoisseur of paint colors and took great pride in his job, working until age 92.

He had a special interest in stock car racing, and enjoyed the garage repairs, multiple victories and championship titles over the years.

Above all, he was the heart of his family and friends. He was known for his famous cookouts and Sunday dinners at noon, where friends, family and even strangers were always welcome with open arms for a warm meal.
