Steve Harrah
Steve Harrah known to his co-workers as "Smiley" was "always thoughtful and would give you a hand," his father-in-law said. The 40-year-old enjoyed hunting deer in Pocahontas County, said father-in-law Jack Bowden Jr., who also is director of the Raleigh County Emergency Operating Center. Harrah lived in Cool Ridge, W.Va., with his kindergarten-age son, Zach, and wife of 10 years, Tammy. His sister, Betty Harrah, said other workers thought of her brother as a good boss. "He wouldn't ask them to do anything he wouldn't get down in there and do," she said. "They went to the same high school, and they just knew each other and started dating," said Bowden, who choked up as he spoke. "It's pretty rough." Harrah was leaving the mine when the explosion happened. The mining company told the family that Harrah was killed instantly, Bowden said.
