Appreciation

John Harris

It was with deep regret that we learned recently of the death of former colleague Johnny Harris. We had known for some time that Johnny’s health was failing but the news of his passing, however
inevitable, is a cause of genuine sadness to those who knew him and worked with him down the years.

Johnny spent his ESB working life in North Wall
Power Station. Beginning back in the days of heavy fuel oil and Velox boilers he continued through the refurbishment of the early 80’s and the introduction of Natural Gas to the station. He reached retirement in 1993.

He was unfailingly courteous to those he met and
always showed a genuine concern for those in difficulty of any kind. To those in need of help Johnny Harris’ hand was always the first to be
offered. He had a fund of anecdotes from his time in uniform, which he was always ready to share with us.

Although his retirement was not favoured with good
health, he never lost his optimistic outlook and
enjoyed his time with family and friends.

To his wife Kitty and family we extend our deepest
sympathy.
