With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Anthony D. Harris, who passed away unexpectedly on Monday, July 22, 2024, at his home in Alabama.
Born on March 15, 1956, Anthony, known affectionately as Tony, was the first employee to join EES and played a vital role in the company’s success. His infectious laughter, generous spirit, and iconic courage left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
Jeffrey Crume, Business Manager at Pilot Chemical Company, shared: “Tony was one of the most gracious, selfless people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He helped us plan for NYSCC Suppliers’ Day for many years. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. His big smile and gentle personality will be missed.”
SJ Telesca, an Experiential Event Enthusiast & Leader, reflected: “A huge loss for the industry. He was so supremely talented and kept us all entertained. One of my favorites – miss you my man! Too soon.”
Tony is survived by his cousin, Sherwood McFadden, along with a wide circle of friends who became family. He will be deeply missed by all who have the privilege of knowing him.
