Scooter Harris
I met Scooter when I moved to the Texas Panhandle with Phillips Petroleum Company in 1997. He was one of the first Landmen I worked with there, but more than that he quickly became a very good friend to me. Scooter was honest, kind, a true gentleman and, quite probably, the best dressed man in the Golden Spread. I had and still have a great respect for Scooter and I will always cherish the opportunity to have known him. When my family and I moved away to Houston in 2002, Scooter encouraged me that if there was anything my eldest daughter, whom we had left behind to continue her classes at WTAMU, needed I could rely on him. Come to pass, the very next year she became somewhat panicked because she needed some paperwork notarized and, being eighteen, didn’t even know where to start. I mentioned this to Scooter in one of our phone calls and he absolutely insisted she come by his office and let him and his staff take care of her – and he did, putting my mind at rest. Scooter, as usual, was good to his word. Even after we moved from Houston to Bartlesville, Oklahoma, in 2007, Scooter always made sure we kept in touch. As a matter of fact he called me just this past summer out of the blue to see if I was still enjoying being back in my hometown; close to my family. Any conversation I had with Scooter was a bright spot in my day. I am truly very saddened by his passing.
