This community is dedicated to Thomas Lesard who was my boss from 1982 to 1984 while I worked for the De La Fuente Automotive Group in San Diego, CA. I know that nobody misses Tom as much as his family, but here it is, more than 25 years later and I am still making a conscious effort at keeping the promises I made to Tom... Such is the lasting impact of true leaders!
