Harris died March 15 in a hospital in Los Angeles surrounded by family, grandson Ashton Pittman told The Associated Press. He will be honored with a full military funeral on April 5.

"He was a very loving, loving, loving man," said Pittman. "That was one of the things that he was very strict upon was loving one another."
