Mr. John Bell “J.B.” Harrison, 77, of Tuscumbia, passed away on September 14, 2017. He was born October 13, 1939 in Florence and graduated from Coffee High School. Mr. Harrison served our country as a member of the National Guard, was a member of Valdosta Church of Christ, and in his later years attended Sherrod Avenue Church of Christ services at Mitchell Hollingsworth. He retired from Ford Motor Company after working at assembly plants in Sheffield, AL, Sharonville, OH, and Atlanta, GA after 30 loyal years of service. Returning to the Shoals area following retirement, he worked for several years for SunTrust Bank of Florence. He loved God, Alabama football, Louis L’Amour westerns, and listening to rock and roll, country, and bluegrass music on his record player. And what he loved most was taking care of his family, especially his mother, brother, and sisters after the sudden death of his father in 1957, and later his wife of 46 years.
