Robert "Bobby" Clark Harris, 83, of Rhinelander, passed away peacefully at home, on Friday, January 31, 2025.
Bobby was born on July 4th, 1941 in Rhinelander to Albert and Elvie (Lindgren) Harris. After completing school, he worked for Cirilli's grocery store until joining the US Army. After serving his Country, Bobby returned to call Rhinelander home. In 1966, he went to work for the Rhinelander Paper Mill until he retired in 1999. On September 20, 1985, he married the love of his life, Agnese Henning. Together they enjoyed time with family, frequent walks downtown, but most of all, spending time with (and spoiling) their grandchildren.
Bobby is survived by his daughter, Angela Harris of Rhinelander, stepson, Ray (Georgina) Henning of Melbourne, Florida, stepdaughter, Maria (Rob Ligman) Henning of Rhinelander, sisters Debbie (Mike) Kopp, of Del Rio, Tennessee, and Linda Zacharias of Rhinelander, brothers Danny (Pam) Zacharias and Randy Zacharias, both of Rhinelander, sister in law Rosaria (Vladi) Pinoni and brother in law Tony (Anna) Fedele of Taranto, Italy, grandchildren Ryan (Stephanie) Henning, Bryanna (Jared) Cummings, Josh (Anna) Budreau, Caitlin (Tyler Krogh) Harris and Kristofer Harris, great-grandchildren, Riley and Rami Henning, Brody, Ellie, Beckett, Stevie and Cecelia Cummings and Riley Krogh and many nephews and nieces.
Bobby was preceded in death by his wife, Agnese, his parents Albert and Elvie, stepfather Ted Zacharias, mother in law Maria Fedele, brothers Donny Harris, Gary Harris and Ricky Harris, sisters Judy Taylor, Patty Towne, Peggy Stein and Jean Carol Harris.
To honor Bobby's wishes, there will not be a service. A private family burial, including Military Honors, and Celebration of Life will take place this Summer.
