I worked for GPD, in the City of Industry, from 1970 untill 1974, in various capacities starting as sales order clerk, advancing to branch office manager and then to become the warranty administrator for the west coast. I worked with Tom frequently and enjoyed his friendship. He and I had something between us that he didn't really have with many others and that was total honesty. Others were in awe of him, being Emmitt's son and rep on the west coast but somehow we rose above that. He was a character!

The first time I met him, he was sitting on the warehouse floor counting boxes of remanufactured brakeshoes, with his suit on! I can still see that in my mind.

Another thing that comes to mind is the time he rushed into my office to show me his latest toy, that he planned on taking to our annual sales meeting: it was one of the first portable calculators, just smaller than "War and peace," that could add, multiply, subtract and divide and most importantly, could do percentages. I remember that he gave me the bill to pay and it was $1,000
