My love and thoughts are with you all on the passing of Uncle Ron.

Such a kind, gentle man and Uncle and as I think back on memories, they are such lovely ones of him.

 I cannot say anything to make this easier but what a wonderful role you did Auntie Helen for caring

 for him as you did. He will be missed.

May he now rest in peace.

Love to you all. Sorry I cannot be there today in person. X

From - Ann & Adrian Welsh, Gloucester, UK
From Gloucester UK we send our condolences to the whole Harris family.
Through GirlGuiding we've had the privilege of knowing Ron and Helen and their family for almost 50 years;

 we've met them in UK & in NZ.
We grew to know Ron as a calm, practical & supportive person - someone ready to help others in need.
Ron will be very sadly missed by those of us in UK who had the great pleasure of knowing him.
Ann & Adrian
on behalf of Angela & John, Julia & Rory & also Vaughan
