Tom was way ahead of his time and sometimes way behind it.
He was talented, funny and willing to try almost anything to get a laugh.
Having the opportunity to perform with Tom was something I will always treasure.
He was a true entertainer.

Tom was my first real boyfriend (8th and 9th grade). I can not hear "Puff the Magic Dragon" without thinking of him and Jerry Williams. I remember them singing it on stage at Granite Park Jr. High - loved his singing voice. He once rode his horse over to my house. It peed on the grass and my dad got mad over the huge dead spot. Many more memories. May he rest in peace.

Now I had a crush on Tom.....nobody could laugh and manipulate people like Tom could. That boy talked his way out of trouble so many times....and charming! He was so damn charming!!! Such a loss of talent. I did see Tom just before he passed away and he wasn't looking or acting very well. At least he in in peace now.

Tom Harrison.....what can you say? He was the "class clown", but in a wonderful way. Always laughing that crazy laugh of his....always up to some kind of mischief. A wonderful singer and musician, with talent that probably was never fully realized.
Tom...a great friend, a good hearted person, who will always make me smile when i think of him. Rest in Peace.

Tom was a huge influence on my life. He and I started singing together in junior high and the great times we had together as "Tom and Jerry" will always make me smile. One very unique thing Tom taught me was how to yodel. He had so much talent and intellect, was so funny, always had a crowd around him and could get in and out of trouble faster than anyone I have ever met. He was truly a "chick magnet" His gift of gab and charm was unbelievable. Tom, Bill Evans and I, plus many others, had a great time at Granite, and Tom was one of the main reasons. I often think of Tom and wish he were still with us.
