HERMANSVILLE — Arthur J. “Art” Harris, 64, Hermansville, passed away on Saturday July 11, 2026 at ThedaCare Medical Center in Appleton, WI following a brief illness, with his loving family by his side. He was born on August 15, 1961 in Escanaba, son of the late Stanley and Beverly (Peters) Harris. Art met “the love of his life”, the former Carol Baribeau, and they were married on June 15, 1985 at St. Joseph Church in Escanaba and celebrated 41 years of marriage this year.
Art graduated from North Central High School in 1979 and started his career as a Journeyman welder. He always had a very strong work ethic! Throughout the years he enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and spending his time at camp taking care of his Christmas trees.
