Harris, Gordon Garnet
Gordon Garnet Harris was born in January 21, 1965, to the late Benjamin P. Harris (Phillip) and Norma Jean Robinson (Harris) Hayes in Dover, Delaware and was called home to be with the Lord on December 17, 2010.
Gordon attended West Dover Elementary School and continued his education in the Caesar Rodney School District. He enlisted in the National Guard and later transferred into the U.S. Army. Gordon labored at various jobs, but found his passion in the culinary arts. He later completed his education and received his certification in the culinary arts from Polytech School in Woodside, DE. He enjoyed creating masterpieces at Applebee's and the Olive Garden in the Dover area.
Gordon married Lorraine Hanzer on November 20, 2000. Gordon had two children, Gordon and Sharnet, from a previous union.
Gordon "Gee Money"/ "Chef BoyarGee" was an intelligent, outgoing, fun-spirited person who had many interests and hobbies. He loved to create succulent dishes and he was quite proud of his barbequing skills, most especially his ribs, whether they were dry rub or cooked in his special barbeque sauce. He enjoyed fishing and crabbing and could serve a mean gumbo that would make your mouth water and leave you wanting more. Gordon's favorite team was the Philadelphia Eagles. There probably was not a more passionate fan in the area than he.
Gordon was an avid reader; his interests covered a broad spectrum of topics. He rededicated his life to Christ, and added the Bible to his favorite readings. He liked reading from Psalms. His favorite gospel song was, "Something About the Name, Jesus."
