Henry (Bubba) Lee Harris, Sr., was born on January 19, 1935, in Mer Rouge, 
Louisiana.  He was the fifth of ten children born to the Late Gus and Mammie 
Harris.  Henry is preceded in death by one child, Dennis Jerome Harris, and 
four siblings, JT Harris, Ollie Crowder, Helen Brandon, Earl Harris and Gus 
Harris. At a young age Henry accepted Christ and united with Eudora Baptist 
Church in Mer Rouge, Louisiana.    

Henry was hard working from an early age and filled with tremendous ambition 
and a strong thirst for success--he was always thinking ahead.  At the age 
of twenty-four he began working at Stephenson’s Chevrolet in Bastrop, La., 
as a mechanic.  Soon he found himself wanting more and in January of 1964, 
Henry moved to California to pursue his unwavering passion to be successful. 
He quickly landed a job with General Tires and shortly afterwards purchased 
his first truck--which began his journey as a business owner. In 1977, Henry 
left General Tires and started his own business, Henry’s Tire Service. Owing 
and operating their own business was an important goal for Henry, but it was 
not their only goal. So in 1981, Henry purchased a single 18-wheeler and 
started H & D Trucking, where he eventually owned five trucks.  He was owner 
and operator of both businesses. 

He became ill in 1994. After taking two years off to recover he returned to 
work in 1996 and worked until he retired in 2001. He spent is final days at 
Anna Rebekah’s Villa in West Covina, California.
