Tom danaher biography

Tributes Received

Grey Pierson, son of Tom's friend and business partner Don

I first met Tom Danaher in at the Mount Royal Hotel in London.  He and my father, Don Pierson, had come to England to attend an event for Hillman dealers – which, at the time, they [Tom and my father] were.  Even though I was only six years old, I remember Tom because he gave me the model Hillman car that he had received at the event (it was subsequently melted by the Texas heat sitting in my window at home).

My father and Tom hit it off immediately, and it wasn't long before they began plunging into one venture – and adventure – after another.
