Thomas Perkins

Tp my old friend, boss and mentor. I rember working on 123 van Ness with you. My memories of time with the company and working with the family there I will always cherish. My heart breaks for your family. Retired Sargent US Army James Whitaker

Great memories spent together during the time of Andromeda. I was helping you to deal with Perini Navi in Viareggio, Italy and was teaching the language that you always liked to learn. I remember when Sophia Loren was invited to Belvedere for lunch and your interest with the Italian Consulate in San Francisco where I was the legal officer. A candle for you Tom.

I first met Tom and his father Dudley back in December 1989. I have been dreaming about owning a harley and there was a 1987 harley heritage in the showroom.

To your wonderful family we are so sorry for their loss.

In the 1980s in was my privilege to work with TP for his dad, Dudley Jr., and then in the 1990s, for TP himself as he led the Perkins family dealership. The 1980s were rough for Harley and I vividly remember how, as a young 20s-something kid, TP's irrepressible enthusiasm for the daily work sustained the entire dealership staff. Later, even though things seemed better for Harley, the times were, in fact, even more challenging for the dealership. It was then that I got a chance to observe how...

May you rest in peace..... God bless you Janet, Nicole and Christopher
