My deepest condolences to the Harris family.  With Tom at his retirement party.  

Early days at AHFC.  Everyone had lots of hair! 

My deepest condolences to the family.  Honda forever changed for the better under his leadership and he left a great legacy.  

Tom was our very first Regional Manager for Region 6 which was based in No. Cal.  It wasn't long before he then moved to our Corporate office and was also our very first Assistant Vice President over Field Operations and Sales.  Tom was so important to AHFCs early beginnings as he set our foundation up for how we continue to operate today which is all operational domains under 1 roof.   

Early on in my career, Tom hired me to come to California from Texas and gave a young man like I was at the time a lot of responsibility with not much experience.  He took calculated risks on people and then supported them with having the right coaches and the right structure to see them succeed.  What I also loved about Tom is he got fired up and vocal when something wasn't going right at Honda, he was the first to tell me that "you are required to have an opinion" at Honda and he sure lived by those words and expected it of others.  He also liked a good laugh.  I admired Tom and was happy to know him albeit for such a short time.

 I AM GLAD YOU GOT TO VISIT THE HUB OF THE UNIVERSE IN BOSWELL, INDIANA ON ARE TRIP TO HERSHEY... THE  DEERE COMBINE DRIVING TEST  IN THE BEAN FIELD WAS CHECKED OFF YOUR DRIVING EXPERIENCE BUCKET LIST... GODSPEED TOM...
