John W. Harris III "Jack" of Fryeburg, ME left this world but not our hearts on February 7, 2023, following a brief illness. Born on February 20, 1954, in Boston, to the late John W. and Mary (Mason) Harris. He was raised in Medford, MA and was a graduate of Medford High School.
Following graduation, his love of the ocean, drew him to enlist in the U.S. Navy where he was stationed in Key West, FL as a diver. Upon discharge, he moved to North Conway, NH where he began his LL Bean career which spanned over 20 years.
Jack was an avid outdoor adventurer. There wasn't a trail or beach on the East Coast, Jack couldn't find in his old-fashioned map books. He loved to hike, kayak, or just jump in his truck and take a drive, never wanting to waste daylight. When Jack wasn't outside, he was in the kitchen. If you had the time, he would present a gourmet meal worthy of a king.
Jack leaves behind his beloved partner, Kimberly Stasiak, and his best bud Lizzie. He was the cherished brother of Marybeth Cain and her husband Bobby, Patricia Harris Mortellite and her fiancé Craig LaValle, Ricky Harris and his wife Linda, and sister-in-law Carol Harris, along with many special nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles. Also, very near and dear to him were Kim's children and grandchildren, especially his partners in crime, Kaylee, and Dude. In addition to his parents, Jack is predeceased by his brothers Jimmy and Tommy and his sister Kathy Harris.
