Tom, Mr. Harper, was such a great man on many levels. I am blessed to be employed by him and is someone who genuinely cared about my overall well-being. I am truly grateful to Tom for the relationship him and I developed over the years. I will never forget the times he told me he loved me. I love him so much and I am already missing him and his presence.
I love you Shannon, Sama, Janet, and the entire Harper Family. May God Bless You All.

Tommy and I go back a lifetime and I always considered him to be a good example of what a human being should be. His real success was that he was a truly good person. As they say...”the real deal”and the single most patient and generous person I’ve ever known.

Janet and family,
I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to you all. One can only imagine Tom and my dad, Chris, zooming around heaven's roads in very sporty fashion! Mr. Harper was good to me, and I'm very glad that I knew him. My condolences to you all, Julia Bradley.

I never really, formally met Tom, but did get to see him a couple of times...I do know that the quality of work he expected of his employees is beyond outstanding! I always felt his presence in the work they did and how, to this day, they always make me feel while I’m there...am a long-standing customer on the VW side & appreciate the work ethic he demanded of his employees & the care... RIP Tom Harper...thank u for all u have done!

I am glad that I had the opportunity to know Tom Harper.

Having casually known Tom--through the Jaguar dealership since about 1990--I remember the essence of the professional Tom which was based on the interests and nature of the personal Tom. He automatically went beyond the casual professional interactions immediately. Tom was preceded by his natural smile. He always sought eye contact, he listened--and Tom always heard you--as a person you were important to him rather than the...

Tom was a fine man who will be sorely missed by many. My thoughts and prayers during this time of grief and loss are with the family.

What a Legacy he leaves! Praying for your entire family during this time of transition! Knowing GODS Comforting Arms will be surrounding you all! Shannon I only knew you and Tom, and I am so sorry for your Great loss.
