Harris Pfei_er passed away suddenly at his home in Wolf Point, Mont., April 19, 2026, at the age of 78.<br \/>\n\t  Harris was born June 24, 1947, at the Sheridan Memorial  Hospital in Plentywood, Mont., to his parents Kenneth and Pearl (Schuhrke) Pfei_er. He was raised on the family  farm south of Redstone, Mont. He learned farming from his father and the art of cooking from his mother.<br \/>\n\t  He graduated high school in 1965. He then went to Dawson Community College in Glendive, Mont., where he earned an associate\u2019s degree in science. Soon after college, he joined the Army and spent most of the next three years in West Germany as a radar repairman in the 6th Battalion  562nd Artillery USAEUR.  After being honorably discharged in 1972, he then moved to Wolf Point, Mont., and got a job at Wood\u2019s Powr-Grip where he worked the next 18 years until the company  relocated. Later, he sold insurance for AAL (now Thrivent) for many years and worked for FedEx until he eventually retired.<br \/>\n\t  It wasn\u2019t long after moving home and getting a good job at Wood\u2019s when he met the love of his life Linda (Sorenson).  He would lovingly call her his \u201cSchautze,\u201d which means \u201cdarling\u201d or \u201csweetheart\u201d  in German, but to him it simply meant \u201cmy love.\u201d In February 1973, they were married  in Wolf Point at Trinity Lutheran Church, the beginning  of a 53 years long adventure  together. They would go on to have three sons, Rodell, Rylan, and Rhandy. He was proud of his family and he loved them very much. They would go on vacations, hunts and, through the years, have many family get-togethers full of laughs and loving fun.<br \/>\n\t  He was a great talker and loved visiting with family, friends and neighbors. He enjoyed gardening, hunting <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"news-destination":[14],"news-source":[11],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124471"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124471"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":124596,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124471\/revisions\/124596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124471"},{"taxonomy":"news-destination","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-destination?post=124471"},{"taxonomy":"news-source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-source?post=124471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
