Scott Harris

Mr Scott Sidney Harris, aged 53, of Grandville, passed away very unexpectedly on Saturday, September 10, 2011, at Holland Hospital. He was born in Grand Rapids, on Aug 5, 1958, the son of Louis and Marjorie Harris of Coopersville. He was preceded in death by his mother, Marjorie; his sister, Lynette; and his brother-in-law, Ronald Panozzo. Scott was a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) in the U.S. Army, beginning in 1978, where he served in the U.S. Army Medical Corp. He has been employed at the Laurels of Hudsonville for the past 11 years, where he has worked as a PTA. Because of his love for the elderly, he also provided in-home physical therapy care. He was very active in his church, Monroe Community Church, in downtown Grand Rapids.
