GLEN STUART HARRIS 

  Keystone Heights - Glen Stuart Harris age 70, of Keystone Heights died 
Saturday, June 15 offshore Horseshoe Beach following an accident.

  Born in Richmond, Virginia on March 23, 1943, Glen was raised in Wakefield, 
Virginia.  Following graduation from North Carolina State University in 1965 
Glen began a life-long career in forestry.  He first was hired by Dr. Ted 
Coile, a soils specialist at Duke University, from whom he learned a specialty 
that Glen loved and used throughout his working life.  Glen began working at 
Container Corporation of America in May 1970; with the company's several 
mergers, he ended (2009) his formal career with Smurfit-Stone Container, now 
RockTenn.  Glen gave his volunteer time to various organizational and 
community projects; he served as liaison to FFA's agricultural club, was an 
announcer for the high school's girl's volleyball and softball teams for many 
years, he was a member of Keystone Heights Rotary Club, Florida Forestry 
Association (giving 20+ years of service and won the State and National awards 
for Tree Farmer Inspector of the year in 2008) and served as the timber 
manager for the Keystone Airport Authority for 20+ years.  He spoke to several 
organizations on the topic of forestry.  Glen has been an avid fisherman and 
hunter from his teenage years.  He enjoyed his outdoor time, saying 
innumerable times, "anything on the outside is better than anything inside." 
In earlier years, Glen was a blood donor, being awarded a Galloneer 
certificate.  He was a member of Keystone United Methodist Church with his 
wife, Alice joining the church family with their children in 1980.

  Glen is survived by his mother, Verna C. Harris, wife, Alice, son 
Christopher Ryan (Ana), daughter, Ellen Margaret Thorp (Mark) and six beloved 
grandchildren, Hannah, Micah, Elijah, Joshua, Nathan, Jacob, brother Donald 
(Deborah) and many nephews and nieces.

Tom Farmer conducting the services.  Interment will be in Keystone Heights
