Charles "Charlie" John Harris, 90, of Papillion, formerly of Springfield, passed away April 4, 2023, at Hillcrest Cottages in Papillion, Nebraska. He was born February 20, 1933, to Curtis and Ina (Scott) Harris in Avoca, Iowa.

After graduating from Avoca High School, Charlie served his country as a member of the United States Army during the Korean War 1953 – 1955 followed by a number of years in the Army Reserves.  After his military service, Charlie began what would become a very successful career as a Dental Supply Sales Representative, where he spent much of his time on the road. In May of 1993, he married Sharon Denney in Springfield, Nebraska. She would join Charlie on many of his sales travels. After retirement in 1998, Charlie and Sharon continued traveling "coast to coast and border to border", for fun this time, instead of work. In addition to hard work and traveling, Charlie had a passion for cars. He was a 50-year member of the Hudson Essex Terraplane Car Club, even achieving the position of National Director of the Big Country Region.
