Vale John "Jacko" Harris
Bright Lions Club Member and Melvin Jones Fellow
With the passing of Jacko on the 4th August the Lions Club of Bright lost its longest serving and one of its most respected and cherished members.
Jacko was the last active member of the club who was one of the original group who established the club in 1976.
He has given an amazing 48 years of service to Lions and more importantly to the community of Bright.
He will be sadly missed for his contribution, experience and wisdom he brought to the club and also for the humour and goodwill he carried with him always.
Our condolences to Elaine and family - our thoughts are with you.
Jacko will be sadly missed by Lions and the wider Bright community.
