Lanford Denney Harris

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA - Lanford Denney Harris went home to be with the Lord on May 5, 2010, while under the care of Hospice Savannah.
Gramps, as he was called by his grandchildren, was born August 29, 1943 in Appling County. He was predeceased in death by his mother, Lela Pauline Harris, infant sister, LaFayne Harris, and his maternal and paternal grandparents. Denney was a graduate of Robert W. Groves High School, after which time he served in the U. S. Army.  He worked for many years at Rent-A-Tool Co. and was working at Intermarine when he became disabled. In 1997, God blessed him with a heart transplant, which added thirteen years to his life, allowing him more time to love and enjoy his grandchildren.  He was a member of Southside Baptist Church, where he enjoyed many wonderful friendships.
Denney is survived by Sherrie Arban Harris, wife of forty-three years; one daughter, Toni Hendley and her husband, Ken; one son, Christopher Harris; grandsons, Zach and Josh Hendley, and Collin Harris, all of Savannah; his father, Calfry Harris; one brother, Kennon Harris and his wife, Billye; two sisters, Genell Phillips and her husband, Bobby and Jawana Wigley, and several nieces and nephews.
