“Dear friends and loved ones: Many of you know that Harrison had been working in China since January 5th of this year. He was 90 days into completing his four month internship.

We are profoundly saddened to announce the passing of our beloved son and brother, Harrison Greenberg, on Monday night, April 6, 2015.
