Greer TWISS Obituary

To Dee and family
I was relieving at Tamaki Intermediate in 1962 and my classroom was next door to the art room where Greer was teaching. He was the very first staff member who popped in to welcome me. I will always appreciate his thoughtfulness. It was also the year when you two became engaged. Happy Memories and kind thoughts to you and your family.

Small in stature, but a huge influence on many an Elam Student.

Such sad news to hear. Our condolences to Dee and family. Have very special memories of the wonderful puppet shows.

To Dee and all the family I am so sorry for your loss. Am overseas at present so I can´t be there on Friday. Will be thinking of Greer and you all on the day. Please accept my apologies and sincere condolences. Phil.

Greer was a marvellous teacher ,inspired everyone with his hands on experimental approach ,and has left a huge legacy.condolences to the family.he was much loved by all.

Our warm love and prayers are with Deirdre and family. Greer takes me back to Auckland Grammar in the 50s with the small group joining in art music
and drama in that macho environment.Then SCM days . And taking their wedding! Till recently Greer's gift that day of one of his first pottery fruit bowls had pride of place and regular use by us all. Thanks for early memories.

My loving sympathy to all the whanau.
I was an Elam student from 1969 t0 1972. While there I did an etching of Greer as part of a series of portraits of Elam friends and staff.
Such a generous clever man.
Sadly missed by us all.

Twiss, Greer. We remember you working with dad at Elam, wonderful times at Rawhiti and noisy dinner parties. You are part of our whānau and will be missed. You live on through your whānau and your sculptures. Moe mai, moe mai, moe mai rā. From the Robert and Elizabeth Ellis and Mountain whānau.
