As a young man, I watched you wrestle for years. Your matches were always entertaining and fun to watch. It is sad that you did not get the recognition and rewards that you were due. My deepest sympathy to your family. May you be rewarded in Heaven. Rest in peace.

He was a menacing figure on my television when i was a young kid. Definitely left a mark on my world when i was a young man. As an adult i realized how caring, nice and compassionate he was. I enjoyed his shoot interviews and his "kamala and son" videos on his YouTube. He was much more than Kamala. He was a great man and the world will be a lesser place without him in it. Go get you're wings Mr. Harris. You deserve them. All your pain and suffering is over. Much love to the family. ❤

What an awesome individual Mr. Harris was. My son J.R. could not get enough of the Ugandan Giant. When he was in Allentown my son would run up to him and start slapping his own belly like Kamala did. If Kamala was on T.V. and I did not tell my little boy he would start to cry he wanted to see his kamama . It took J.R. and while to say his name correctly. RIP my friend and bless your family, both my son, J.R.and I are very sad today. PEACE!! to all.
