Bob Harris is best known for covering Duke Football and Basketball games.

Retired Duke sports radio play-by-play announcer Bob Harris died Wednesday.

He was 81.

Former radio analyst Wes Chesson announced Harris’ death in an update on a GoFundMe page that had been created to raise money for Harris’ care. He had been previously diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and been in hospice care, and the site had raised more than $101,000 from more than 500 donations since its launch in early 2023.

Chesson posted that Harris passed away with his wife Phyllis “at his side, holding his hand.” Duke also released statements of condolences from retired Hall of Fame men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and athletics director Nina King.

Harris spent 41 years as the Blue Devils’ radio voice for men’s basketball and football before retiring in 2017.
