This memorial website has been created in loving memory of SAM HARRISON who passed away on Wednesday April 15, 2015 at Grace Villa Aged Care in Greensborough, Victoria.

A funeral service to celebrate the life of Sam was held in the Chapel at Le Pine Funerals in Greensborough on Tuesday 21st April and was followed by a private cremation.

We would sincerely like to thank our family and friends for their support during this difficult time, and for joining us on the 21st to say farewell to Sam.   

With love and thanks from the Harrison Family.

'Sam was loved by all and will be sadly missed'.

Memories are a keepsake
To treasure all life through,
But ours are very special Dad
Because they are of you.
So you'll never be forgotten,
Not for a single day,
And your lovely happy character
Will never fade away.

In Loving Memory of Dear Dad on Father's Day.

I was honoured to be a pallbearer for Uncle Sam's funeral. I have great memories of him and Aunty Gloria at the Markets, where they always had a smile and great sense of humour. I'll miss them both.

Aunty Gloria and Uncle Sam were definitely made for each other, they were caring & devoted not only to each other but to their family, relatives and friends. We will always have many fond memories of them.(especially our lengthy chats in the Victoria market, while they were working hard in all types of weather).
They will be dearly missed , with all our love.xxxx

I know this man who is dear to my heart
Suddenly one day it was torn all apart,

This man taught me everything that I needed to know
But I never really listened until he had to go,

He gave me love and touched my life
It's all over now he no longer has to fight,

He tried to teach me right for wrong
The day he left I wasn't that strong,

He is gone now it is hard to believe
This man is my dad who I will never see,

But I will see him again this I know
The day will come when it's time for me to go,

So I'll hold him dear and close to my heart
Cause the day we meet I know we'll never be torn apart,

You will always on my mind and forever in my heart.

OBITUARY

Taken from an article in the Queen Victoria Market's "Trader Bulletin"...

Sam Harrison will always be remembered for his beaming smile. Trading from 1945 to 2009, he was loved by his customers who would always hear his distinctive roaring laughter from anywhere in the Market. Sam especially loved to go to Fiji every year and would always have some travel advice for any of the Queen Victoria Market staff heading overseas. He will be sorely missed.

To dear Linda, Ern & Ray,

Leila, Sally and I are deeply sorry we were unable to attend the service in Greensborough to say farewell to our dear Uncle Sam.

Please accept our sincere condolences at this sad time.

We have so many fond memories of your Dad (and Mum as well) and know those memories will be with us for the rest of our lives.

I can remember as kids how excited we used to get every time we learned the Harrison family was coming out to Greensborough for a visit; or a day-trip was being planned with the family during the school holidays. Imagine how we felt when we heard the news that you were actually moving to Greensborough – it doesn’t get any better than that!

A few years on and although it wasn't for very long, I thoroughly enjoyed my Saturdays 'working' at the Vic Markets helping your Mum and Dad and would go back in a heartbeat if it were possible.

Your folks were always an absolute pleasure to be around and while no longer with us, can still bring a smile to my face and will never be far away.

With love from Steven, Leila & Sally.

Dear Linda, Ern and Ray, 

What a wonderful tribute to your dear dad, Sam. 

I have great memories of visiting Albert Street and having sleep overs at Parkview Avenue. Always made welcome, always felt included.  How excited your mum was and how proud was your dad when you moved to your new home. This was a home where there was always laughter, music, bustling noise.  I enjoyed your dad's humour, his opinions and the stories he told when driving me home. Always entertaining!

Your were very fortunate to have had your parents in your life for so long; interested, involved and loving you and the extended family.

It's hard to think of your dad without having your mum included, they were a true couple!

Vale Sam.

My best wishes to you all.......xJanelle
