Happy heavenly birthday Greg. I just learned about your passing, it was on my birthday. I always enjoyed our conversations I´m not sure what happened where we stopped, I noticed you didn´t post on Facebook anymore maybe you chose to get off of social media. Though we never met in person you taught me about agriculture in New Zealand and I thought that was pretty cool! Peace and love from the United States

I was so sorry to hear about Greg. Met him at the YFC AGM in Blackpool in 2000 and then when he came and stayed in NI on exchange. A really lovely guy who left a positive impression on everyone he met. Condolences to all his family in NZ and to friends he made across the world. Gillian Cheatley and family xx

To all the extended Harris Family... Allan and I were just so sad to read about Greg's passing. Although I only met Greg in the maternity home at a few days old, I have followed his life's journey through his accomplishments and my daughters associations over the years, and latterly meeting Tracey at Moetapu Bay. It's been a heartbreaking time for you all, an outstanding young man taken too soon. We are thinking of you all with love.

Greg, my cousin, you will be missed, that cheeky grin, good natured. The last few years of your life journey were difficult, you were loved and supported in amazing ways by family and friends. To Aunty Helen, Uncle Ron, Tracey, Angela, and Pip and your families, your bond is strong, you have endured much, there is deep sadness at his loss, but a relief that Greg is now at rest, at peace. Share the memories, laugh at the photos, videos, recount the stories, hold each other, reach out for help when needed. Be comforted that family and friends walk beside you in your loss and grief, Kia haka, we stand with you and for you in this difficult time.
