A celebration of life will be held in Melbourne on Friday for QPR Premium Funding regional manager Tony Harris.

Mr Harris died on September 30 aged 74 after a battle with cancer.

In a career spanning many decades, Mr Harris worked at QBE, CGU, Arteva and Allianz, where he was senior marine underwriter.

“He was a broker, underwriter, claims manager, premium funding BDM, just to name a few. He touched many people in the insurance industry,” said his son, Harris Insurance Solutions MD Andrew Harris.

“We warmly invite colleagues and everyone who knew Dad to join us. This will be a time to share memories, reflect on the good times, remember the laughs and celebrate the wonderful man he was and the impact he had on so many lives. We would love to see everyone who knew him there.”

The service will be at 1.30pm at the Village Green Hotel’s Cabaret Room in Mulgrave.
