I was so taken back in hearing the news of Mr. Harris' passing, you have my deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers. Jim, and Gwen, have been dear friends and mentors over many years for my family, accepting us under their wings of wisdom when we first met on the protest lines in the 90's. They were always kind, gracious and wise with advice and support for our journey to find truth and real meaning in this world. I will miss seeing Mr. Harris in the physcial, but know that he has transitioned to become our Warrior Angel who will continue to watch over us all. May you find peace during this difficult time, and solice in knowing he left a legacy of leadership and inspiration. God bless.

My deepest and sincere condolences to Gwen and the rest of the family of Mr. Harris. I knew him by Big Jim as he was affectionately called by us all in the music business. I will miss him in our Genealogy group too. It was truly an honor to have met such a great man who was revered by us all in the music business. He will truly be missed. May GOD continue to give you strength during this difficult time.

Hello family. This is Kevin(Keg Head) I would like to extend my condolences to you all. I will never forget my second father that meant what he said, and said what he meant. And all of our five minute conversations that would always end up being a two hour lecture, I am very grateful for them all. Thank you for helping me to become the man I am today, and expressing the importance of family. I love you Mr and Mrs Harris(Mush)
