Enoch "Tee-Foot" Harrison

Enoch "Tee-Foot" Harrison, Jr, age 83 of York, Alabama, was born to the union of the late Enoch Harrison, Sr. and Maudie Bell Pringle in Lauderdale County, Mississippi.

He peacefully transitioned and entered into eternal rest June 4, 2021 at his residence surrounded by family and loved ones. Graveside Service and Life Celebration with Military Detail is slated for Saturday, June 12, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. in Ward Chapel Cemetery, 8541 Pine Grove Road; (County Road #15), Ward, Alabama. Rev.

On Saturday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. the processional leaves from "Tee's Lounge" located 501 First Avenue, downtown York, Alabama. Enoch attended St. Joseph Catholic School Kindergarten, followed by the Meridian Public Schools. He served his country in the United States Army, often sharing experiences of being stationed in Alaska. After completion of his enlistment, a variety of employment and moves followed until discovery of his passion for entreprenuership. Enoch opened and operated TNT in the heart of the African American Business District of Meridian for many years providing employment for many family members and was ably assisted by the late "Uncle Bud" supervising in his absence. Enoch quietly supported and became involved in several community and Civil Rights endeavors. Tee-Foot relocated to York, AL and subsequently opened and operated the legendary "Tee's Lounge" downtown. He loved and appreciated his customers and the community of York, as well as the surrounding areas. Again, he championed activities and programs to benefit and serve others, including social, civic, religious efforts. Enoch enjoyed playing pool and card games, golfing, and listening to music. He didn't miss much on TV between watching CNN and the Sports Channel. He kept his cell phone close so he could reach out when he desired, as well as not miss those trying to reach him. He has always been a "People" person. He liked being well dressed and appropriate for any occasion and a classic dancer. He handled himself well in diverse groups and as circumstances dictated. Loved ones preceding him in death include his wife, Earnestine Ward Harrison and son, Labaryon Harrison. There are many memories to cherish: listening to the Jazz he loved, recalling the good times with him; re-telling his stories the way he made you laugh; the tough times and health struggles. Enoch will continue to be loved and remembered by his devoted, compassionate caretaker and soul mate, Virginia Coleman, York, AL; his sons Tony (Debra) Harrison and Jeffrey Harrison, both of Huntsville, AL; Derrick (Ola) Ward, of Demopolis, AL and Martin (Felicia) Harrison of Oakland, CA. His siblings include two brothers, Thomas Harrison, Meridian, MS and Emmett Harrison, Grand Rapids, MI; three (3) sisters- Nellie Harrison, Cleveland, OH; Loretta Mays, Middletown , NY and Christine Samuel, Woodbridge, VA. Enoch leaves eighteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren as well as, maternal aunts, Grace Langford and Viola Gilliam of Oakland, CA and his dedicated cousin, Deborah Parker and her husband, Curtis of Meridian, MS, along with other family members, friends and associates that loved “Tee” and those whom he also loved.
