November 26, 2024

Arnold Harris, 69, of Baltimore, MD, formerly of Lititz, PA died of Parkinson’s Disease on November 26, 2024. Mr. Harris, known for his kindness and generosity was a longtime Lancaster County resident, where he served as president and owner of Electronic Interface Associates.

Arnold married Abbey Ina Cohen on May 27, 1979. The couple had two children while living in the Boston area. In 1987, the young family moved to Lancaster County so that Arnold could establish his business, which he ran successfully until his retirement in 2021.

Arnold found great joy being with family, friends, and going out to eat. One of his favorite things to do was getting ice cream with his wife, children, and grandchildren. He always had a kind word or joke to share, even with strangers.

He is survived by his brothers, Michael and Joel Harris; sister Judith (Michael) Belitch; Son, Andrew (Tracy) Harris; Daughter, Adrienne (Victor) Jackson; grandchildren Jace, Adriella, Leanna, and Jonah; and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

The world dimmed a bit with Arnie’s passing for he truly was a wonderful light to all who got the chance to meet him (and Abbey).  I’m thankful he’s with other lost loved ones and he’s at peace, however, I’m so sorry for the loss for family and friends here.  His memory will always make me smile though.
