Albert (Bert) Erwin Harris, III, age 65, died peacefully at home on 10-7-22 after an 18 month battle with liver and bone cancer. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Tracey Busbice Harris. Bert and Tracey had a love story like no other. They briefly met when they were kids at his father's floral shop, Sunset Florist in Oak Cliff. In high school they were both in choir, started dating on 11-22-74, and the rest is history. Their marriage on 3-5-82 was meant to be. Although they shared heartaches and losses in their years together, Bert would say he never remembered a bad day. Bert had many interests throughout his 65 years. Starting early in life he had a great love and passion for music. Above all he loved the guitar, and was an avid collector. From his original Yamaha he played in high school to the many, many electric guitars he collected over his lifetime, there was never a day where music didn't play an important role. Bert also loved golf, and played every weekend for many years. He loved Stevens Park Golf Course, and had a close bond with his foursome. He loved Herrera's Mexican food (#13A), the Dallas Cowboys, his animals, and was happy being home enjoying the simple pleasures. Bert had a quick wit, and there was much laughter in his daily life. Admittedly, sometimes irreverent. He was generous with his love and attention. Bert read the Dallas Morning News from front page to back every day of his teenage and adult life. The best compliment Bert could give someone is they were interesting because they were interested. He graduated with a bachelors degree in accounting from NTSU in 1983, joining Bank of America and having a 33 year career. As a Senior Vice President, he spent most of his career in Trust and Estate Tax. He was open and honest, and had a rare integrity and work ethic. He retired in 2016 to begin living the dream he and Tracey had planned for years. His life was cut short, but his impact will live as long as those who knew him. Bert was preceded in death by his father, A.E. Harris, Jr., mother Mary Jo Fowler Harris, sister Karen Diane Caton, and his beloved cousin Chip Fowler. Besides Tracey, he is survived by his brothers-in-law Tommy Caton, Mike Busbice (Nina) and Dale Busbice (Gina), nephews Zac Adams (Nicole), LM (Kelly), and nieces Elise Arnold (Josh), Emily Washington (Stephen), Angela Stein (Kevin), Jill Ellison (Jake), Stephanie Helms, Stephanie Mitchell (Jonathan) and all the grand nieces and nephews. His best friends Steve Gaudin and Tommy Stogner were very much loved by Bert, as were many life long friends. For his love of music, donations can be made to KUTX.org in Austin, which gave Bert so much joy. Also Bert donated several guitars to Guitars for Vets (donations@guitarsforvets.org), and supported North Texas Food Bank (ntfb.org). There will never be another like Bert Harris, and we will honor his wonderful life in January, 2023. Details will be posted on www.ariacremation.com as well as Facebook.
