Is this the Mike I think it is? People don’t quit jobs they quit managers. Great to have a guy step up for you in management.

A great reminder that the things we do is because we can. What a great gift Sydney gave himself when he helped to save your life. We all know a gift is done in secret. So, I am reminded today that when I have an opportunity to love, don’t hesitate. What a great gift, to give one self. The gift of love. The most powerful force in the universe. PAY IT FORWARD. Thanks for sharing.

Terrific story Andy, I enjoyed my 8 years at Harman U, I call it that because the atmosphere was always collegiate, yet quite businesslike and certainly educational. In the early years that preceded your tenure, I left in September 1995, Dr. Harman was a presence and quite involved in the daily operation of his AV empire and often visited our NY HQ in Woodbury and later after we split HK from JBL in Northridge. As National Sales Manager for Car Audio I worked closely with Gina Harman and I echo your sentiments. I sum up the man, simply as a “Mensch”. Be well and stay safe.

Very touching tribute and interesting backstory. Good to know that the ‘Harmon Story’ was due in large part to the integrity of its Founder, who’s name it bears, which produced many great products, and made such a difference, to so many. That’s remarkable story, and thanks for sharing it. Nice!

What a great story to read for a second time. Andy truly understands relationships, so to read a story like this carries a lot of weight. Mr. Harman created a legacy that will live on for generations to come.

Nice. Guys like that are “one in many thousands”. Grace. Compassion. Business skills. A decent human being.

Andy is such a generous person with his time, expertise and technical guidance. He has shared at least some – if not a lot – of what he absorbed at Harman with all of us in the industry through training, forums, facebook, etc. and for that my friend, I thank you. Dr. Harman and the company was equally as lucky to have you IMHO.

there are, unfortunately, few people that have gifts like that. I never met Dr Harman, by I had heard stories for years about what it was like to work there in those days. Thanks for sharing…

What a great story! It is soo nice to hear about the owner of a company who truly cared for the people that worked for him. Sadly this is almost non existent these days.
