A very good man.  I am happy to have known such a beautiful Christian  man.

Sincere condolences to the Harris Family from the Bruce W. Landeck Family.  We appreciated Tom's  and Sue's friendship. Tom was such an intelligent, caring and generous individual. Being in his presence was a pleasure and honor.  Those who knew Tom at IBM recognized his high ethics and abilities.  His love of family was obvious and intense. May God bless you all and give you comfort.

With love,
  Bruce and Marlise

I knew Tom from his Endicott days with IBM and also his days with IBM here in Atlanta.He was a good friend and an extremely good worker all the days he worked for IBM.

I know he will be missed by many IBM'ers and the others Tom touched in retirement.

Sincerely,

Gene & Jackie Alderman

I was saddened to hear of the death of my cousin Tom.  The Harris family and the Wessling family were good friends when we were growing up in Greater Cincinnati.  Tom's mother was "Aunt Edith" to me, my brother Jack, and my sister Ceal, and his father was "Uncle Ray."
Tom and I attended Xavier University and ushered together at the Cincinnati Opera.  Unfortunately, after Tom's work with IBM took him to Georgia, I had only occasional contact  with him, usually at weddings and funerals.  But I knew him to be a very intelligent and and capable man of strong moral character.  My heart goes out to his wife Sue in her grief and in her own infirmities.  I shall be having a Mass offered at Bellarmine Chapel for Tom, Sue and the Harris family on Monday, February 22.

It was because of Uncle tom that I got my first ever vehicle, an prestine  1995 GMC truck.  It was in immacculate condition and I cherished driving it every day.  I'll always be thankful to my uncle for allowing me to have it.  I know he and my grandfather always enjoyed thinking about history and espically the length of time and the universe! I was always interested in what he had to say.  I charrised the short time i did get to spend with them and wish there were more of those moments.  My family has lost a great Man and he wil be forever missed!
