Police arrest McDonald’s employee in killing of manager at drive-thru window
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — Police said that a man speaking to a McDonald’s manager at a drive-thru window watched in horror as an employee stabbed the manager multiple times with a knife, prompting the customer to fire his gun into the air to break up the altercation, before the man pursued the suspect on foot and detained her at gunpoint.
The harrowing sequence of events was related by Eastpointe Police Lt. Alexander Holish following the incident that occurred during the morning of Thursday, July 10, at the McDonald’s location on the north side of Nine Mile Road, west of Kelly Road, in Eastpointe.
Officers were dispatched to the restaurant at around 7:55 a.m. on reports of a stabbing and a shot fired. Holish said the investigation appeared to show that there had been a verbal dispute between the manager and employee, and the manager had sent the employee home early.
While the manager, identified as Jennifer Harris, 39, tended

Bond projects continue in Eastpointe Community Schools
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — Two years ago, in August 2023, the voting majority in Eastpointe Community Schools passed a $36.4 million bond proposal for building repairs throughout the district.
A bond is a state-approved funding process for large-scale projects. When approved by the voters, the school district sells bonds in the authorized amount and uses the bond sale proceeds to pay for the projects.
This summer, crews are working on several bond projects at various sites. All the construction projects are currently on track to be completed before school starts Aug. 25. Partners in Architecture PLC, based in Mount Clemens, is the architect. The construction manager is Barton Malow, based in Southfield.

Setting up camp inside Dawn Bols’ Volkswagen Westfalia camper bus T-2 is like entering a time machine that dates back to 1979. The sage-green van also is a reminder of the Michigan camping trips that Bols took as a child with her family, often to Wilderness State Park near Mackinaw City.
“It was like heaven to me playing with the kids on the beach,” the Harrison Township resident said. “It was so fun.”
Many of those family vacations were spent traveling in one of her dad’s Volkswagen vehicles. The first Volkswagen was not a camper bus, but the family still traveled in it and camped in tents.
Bols’ dad, Brian Bukantis, was always a fan of the Volkswagen bus and also owned a T-3 model in which the
Former paraprofessional pleads guilty to assault and battery charge
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — A former Forest Park Elementary School paraprofessional pleaded guilty in court July 8 to an assault and battery charge for striking a child with a shoe last fall.
On July 9, the office of Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido issued a press release to confirm that Kimberley Horen, 55, made the guilty plea before Judge Kathleen G. Galen in Eastpointe’s 38th District Court. The charge is a 93day misdemeanor. Horen was originally charged in May.
According to the press release, Horen’s conviction will be reduced to attempted assault and battery upon successful completion of 12 months of probation, continued anger management counseling, and Wyatt’s Law registration. Wyatt’s Law provides greater access to the Central Registry for Child Abuse and Neglect, maintained by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ Children’s Services Agency.
Horen, of Eastpointe, is scheduled for a presentence hearing on Sept. 19 before Galen. Attorney William Barnwell, representing Horen, said his client has never been in trouble with the law and has no prior record.
“She has no prior discipline in any job, including in any school capacity,” Barnwell said. “This incident, while unfortunate, does not define her. In open court, she took responsibility for her actions.”
Forest Park is part of Eastpointe Community Schools. On Oct. 18, 2024, a parent reported that her 6-year-old child, who has autism, was assaulted by a member of the staff at Forest Park. After an internal investigation by district administration, Horen was found to have removed the child’s shoe and used it to strike the child in the head. She was fired as a result of the incident.
“Paraprofessionals play a vital role in supporting students, particularly those with special needs. When that responsibility is not upheld, it is important that there are consequences,” Lucido said. “This guilty plea reflects that the defendant’s actions were completely unacceptable. Our office remains committed to protecting all students in Macomb County.”

Family ties drive local auto repair shops
allard@candgnews.com
When Bill Griffin, who owns Griffin’s Neighborhood Auto Clinic in Farmington Hills, injured his back in 2009, he was unable to work for a period of time.
The shop had only been open for two years, so his younger brother, Tom Griffin, stepped in to handle the business until Griffin got back on his feet.
“Had it not been for my brother the shop would have failed,” Griffin said.
Griffin’s Neighborhood Auto Clinic, located at 23905 Freeway Park Dr., offers many services. Talented staff members offer auto repair; suspension, steering and alignment; cooling system and engine repair;
brake services and more on everyday cars as well as classic cars and hot rods.
Family ties are a main reason why Griffin’s Neighborhood Auto Clinic has been a success. Along with his brother’s help, Griffin’s two daughters, Kelsey and Hannah, worked at the front counter of the shop after school. Doing clerical work and running for parts were among their many responsibilities. They also had to remember working with their dad came with boundaries.
“When you’re here, I’m your boss and not your dad,” he reminded them.
His daughters are now married with their own families and careers and no longer work at the shop. Their presence is missed, and their hard work over the years added to the growth of the family business.
CLPS has much to celebrate this year!

Police chase
from page 3A
Township as an adult on second-degree murder and four other charges in connection with the crash that occurred at the intersection of 11 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue. Alex Habib, a 28-year-old Madison Heights resident, was killed in the crash.
Canales is facing five charges: seconddegree homicide, a life felony; first-degree fleeing a police officer, a 15-year felony; operating with a suspended license causing death, a 15-year felony; third-degree fleeing a police officer, a five-year felony; and unlawfully driving away a motor vehicle, a fiveyear felony. Canales entered a not guilty plea.
During Canales’ arraignment, Macomb County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jeffrey Hall asked that Magistrate Ryan Zemke set Canales’ bond at $1 million.
He said that during the chase, Canales showed a disregard for public and human safety by driving at speeds around 130 mph. Canales being out after 2 a.m., he said, showed a “lack of parental authority or supervision of the defendant.”
“I do believe that the defendant does pose a risk to the public,” Hall said. “I do believe that there is a concern for him to show

to the customer at the drive-thru window, the employee allegedly returned to the venue brandishing a knife. The employee reportedly proceeded to assault Harris in plain sight of the customer waiting at the drivethru window.
“The customer first starts yelling — ‘Stop! Stop! Stop!’ — but it had no effect. He then pulled out his gun (which he was registered to carry) and fired a shot — not trying to hit anyone, but to stop (the suspect),” Holish said.
“The shot startled the assailant. She dropped her knife and ran out the door on the complete opposite side of the restaurant,” Holish said. “And the customer — this good Samaritan — he exited his vehicle and chased her on foot, stopping her as she attempted to leave in her truck, and keeping her there at gunpoint until we arrived to arrest her.
“We also took the victim to the hospital, but unfortunately, she was pronounced dead there,” Holish said. “As I’ve said before, no verbal argument should lead to any violence. People should act like adults and talk out their issues; they should never resort to
knives or guns. Unfortunately, we’ve been seeing more conflicts where people are quick to resort to violence to settle disputes.”
The victim and suspect Harris was the mother of six children and had worked at the McDonald’s restaurant for 15 years.
In a statement provided to C & G Newspapers, Yusef Alcodray, owner-operator of the Eastpointe McDonald’s location, said his team is “deeply saddened” by the incident.
“Our hearts go out to the victim’s family and loved ones,” Alcodray said July 10. “Violence of any kind is unacceptable in my
restaurants, and we are taking this matter extremely seriously, as the safety and wellbeing of our employees and customers is our top priority. We are fully cooperating with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation, and the restaurant will remain closed until further notice.”

“They did bring a good element to the shop and a little more of a draw. They played an integral role in building the company,” Griffin said. “We were one big family working here.”
His ex-wife also was heavily involved in the family business and Griffin said she deserves much of the credit for helping to build Griffin’s Neighborhood Auto Clinic. For many years, Griffin, an Automotive Service Excellence master certified technician, worked for other people and used that experience to open up his own garage. He likes the variety the business brings.
“Every day is a different day,” Griffin said. “You never know what you’re going to do from day to day.”

B&B Collision, located at 919 South Main St., in Royal Oak.
On July 1, 1977, Randy Booden and his father, Bill Booden, went into business together. They had both been working for different car dealerships and when Bill asked his son if he wanted to start a family business, Booden told him, “You bet.” They took their passion for cars and created B&B Collision, a family-owned auto repair facility offering a number of services including collision repair. Nearly 50 years ago, Royal Oak looked a lot different than it does today.
“It was a ghost town,” Booden said.
But the Boodens settled on Main Street because of the other auto-related businesses they neighbored with, including a transmission shop and a radiator store. B & B Collision employs a number of experienced and highly-trained certified technicians. The state-of-the-art repair facility, managed by Nick Olsowy, uses high-tech equipment.

July 10, allegedly by a co-worker, and died from her injuries.
“First, I want to thank everybody that came out today in support of my mama. My mama was so good,” her oldest daughter, Antonia Griffin, said through tears and heartache. “This was never a thought. We didn’t think that far off what would happen when she wasn’t here. I don’t even know if my siblings (know) what’s gone on.
“My mama worked so hard. I got to be strong,” Griffin said. “My mama would want me to be here to be strong for my siblings. I just want to be back with my mama.”
Griffin said her mom was “happy” working at the restaurant. There was a point in which Harris and Griffin worked for the company at the same time, but at a different franchise.
“All I have is all those good memories of my mama,” Griffin said. “These past couple days all I could think of is seeing my mama doing her job and then being attacked by somebody that she trusted.”
During the vigil, Tenisia Evans, senior pastor of Divine Restoration Ministries, based in Harper Woods, said the Jennifer Harris Legacy Fund had been established to support the six children. Divine Restoration Ministries also has provided emotional and spiritual support to the family at this time.
Yusef Alcodray, owner/operator of the Eastpointe McDonald’s, said the Jennifer Harris Legacy Fund — gofundme.com/f/
support-jennifer-harriss-childrens-future — will serve as a trust dedicated exclusively to support her children for basic life expenses including housing, food, transportation and education.
“I am here for you and your siblings,” Alcodray assured Griffin. “You are not alone in this. You will always have family here with us. We will forever carry her memory in our hearts.”
He is also covering the funeral expenses.
“Not only am I contributing to this fund, but I will be leveraging every single person in my network to help raise the necessary resources to support these children,” Alcodray said. “It means so much to see everyone here today, family, friends, crew, customers. There aren’t enough words to describe the incredible impact Jennifer had on me and on her restaurant family.
“She didn’t just manage this restaurant. She truly cared for everyone inside of it. She was more than a manager here. She was family. She was a steady, caring presence who made this restaurant feel like home for so many people,” Alcodray said. “Whether she was welcoming a new crew member on their first day, remembering a regular’s coffee order before they even stepped up to the counter or stepping in during a rush with a calm smile, Jennifer led by example every single day.”
Eastpointe Police Chief Corey Haines attended the vigil and briefly spoke with the media afterward.

sider with an update on projects under construction this summer. Input was included from the district’s facilities director, Kerry Weishaupt.
For starters, the gymnasiums have been repainted at all four elementary schools: Bellview, Crescentwood, Forest Park and Pleasantview. Crews are also in the process of sanding and refinishing the gym floors. Additionally, the cabinet doors at the front of the stage are being replaced in each building.
Pleasantview Elementary is getting new classroom casework and heating, ventilation and air conditioning units installed. The same work was completed at the other three elementary schools last summer.
According to Kienitz, DTE Energy is installing new transformers for heating, ventilation and air conditioning units at the elementary schools. The air conditioning systems will be ready for the fall. A new rooftop air conditioning unit has been installed for the Eastpointe High School auditorium.
Danny Laetham, the district’s technology and school safety coordinator, also provided Kienitz with updates. Other than the work on the fiber network, the technology
projects are either complete or will be complete before school.
One completed project is the replacement of the district’s Wi-Fi infrastructure to bring services to current technology standards throughout the entire district, including increased connection speeds and reliability on roaming devices.
Also ongoing is the security camera re-
placement at the elementary buildings and the Eastpointe Early Learning Center, and the Operations Department. Workers are replacing and upgrading the existing camera infrastructure, including back-end servers and cabling to digital high-definition cameras. The project is in the early stages; the wiring is completed and the camera installation is just beginning. Bond dollars also are
tragic incident that has destroyed two families.”
Haines said the department wants to do all it can to help Harris’ family. That includes offering chaplain services through the Police Department and making referrals. The killing also impacted residents.
“We want to do something to help the community recover,” Haines said.
Police have yet to publicly identify the bystander who reportedly saw the stabbing as it happened and fired his own gun in an effort to stop the crime.
“He fired a shot into the building,” Haines said. “No one else got hurt. We are planning to give him some credit down the road.”
Police said the bystander was able to hold the suspect at gunpoint in the parking lot until police arrived.
Through kind words, Eastpointe Mayor Michael Klinefelt also offered his support.
“What happened to Jennifer is a shock to the community. It’s something that we don’t expect to ever see,” Klinefelt said. “I do want to say it’s a testament to Jennifer. The building here is packed. The parking lot is full outside. I think it speaks volumes to see the amount of people that are showing up in support. The community is here for you, anything that you need.”
Eastpointe resident Holly Phillips did not know Harris personally, but she and her family frequently dine at the Eastpointe McDonald’s restaurant.
“Everyone is super nice here. This bothers me a lot, something that is so terrible,” Phillips, 62, said. “For the last four days, I thought about her all day long. God bless the family and her kids. We all got to do better in taking care of each other.”
After the vigil, the crowd headed outside to launch balloons in the air in tribute to Harris. As the white, red and gold balloons — in round, star and heart shapes — flew up to the heavens, some cheered while others called out, “We love you.”

Hall also stated that a 12-year-old was involved and is facing charges related to the incident as a juvenile. The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office alleges that the 12-yearold and Canales each stole separate cars. The 12-year-old was not a passenger of Canales, according to the Prosecutor’s Office.
John Kennedy, an attorney who was representing Canales during the arraignment, asked that his bond be set at $1 million with 10% cash or surety and a tether if released so he could meet with a courtappointed attorney.
In the end, Zemke denied bond entirely.
“The circumstances involved here, as outlined by the prosecutor, definitely give way to a serious concern for risk of danger to the public, serious concern for risk of flight,” he said.
Zemke said a person’s fundamental right to liberty isn’t something that should be taken lightly and only in certain circumstances should bond be denied altogether.
“Quite honestly, this is one of the cases where that could be considered,” he said.
Zemke said he needed to determine the least restrictive means to ensure that Canales appears at court and is not a risk of danger to the public.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred at approximately 2:40 a.m. July 12, when Roseville police attempted to stop a black Hyundai Sonata in the area of Interstate 94 and Gratiot Avenue, according to a press release from the Roseville Police Department. The incident started in Clinton Township, according to the Prosecutor’s Office.
“Our officers had just received a radio broadcast that the vehicle was recently stolen from a residential area in a neighboring jurisdiction,” the Roseville police press release states. “The driver of the Hyundai failed to stop, and a vehicle pursuit ensued.”
The pursuit entered westbound Interstate 696 and the vehicle exited at Hoover Road, the press release states. The driver continued onto westbound 11 Mile Road and proceeded to the intersection of northbound Van Dyke Avenue, where the driver ran a red light and crashed into a Ford Fusion, according to police.
Medical personnel responded to the scene and administered aid to the drivers of both vehicles. The driver of the Ford Fusion, Habib, was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to the press release.
Canales was transported to a local
hospital where he was treated for non-lifethreatening injuries and released, the press release states.
The press release begins, “First our thoughts and prayers are with the victim’s family, our officers and all who were involved in this tragic event.”
After the arraignment, Alex Howard, a relative of Habib’s wife, said they’re happy to see Canales behind bars.
“We’re just happy that he’s behind bars for the time being, right now, and that’s where he deserves to sit. That’s where he deserves to be at,” he said.
Howard said the number of people who have come out to show support for Habib is a testament to what kind of person he was.
“He was by far one of the greatest guys I’ve ever met,” Howard said. “Nobody could say a bad thing about him. Today definitely shows that. It shows the support that we’re getting, and it’s extreme. We’re all extremely grateful for it.”
Habib’s family have retained Fieger Law to look into the circumstances around the crash, according to a press release from the law firm.
“We are deeply saddened over the loss of Alex,” James Harrington, managing partner of the law firm, said in a prepared statement. “Every resource available will be and has been dispatched to deliver answers to Alex’s family.”
A GoFundMe webpage was started to raise money to support Habib’s family.
The page states that Alex left behind two children, a 1-year-old daughter and 3-month-old son.
“Alex worked tirelessly to provide for (his wife) and the kids, both emotionally and financially,” it states on the webpage.
“He was a man of deep love, quiet strength and unwavering dedication — someone who gave selflessly and always showed up for the people he loved. His loss is felt not just by his wife and children, but by all who knew him.”
At press time, the GoFundMe page had raised over $101,000.
Habib worked at Jim Brady’s in Royal Oak.
“Our family at Jim Brady’s is heartbroken today,” a July 12 post on the Jim Brady’s Facebook page states. “We have lost a beloved member of our team. Alex Habib, who was loved by all those who came into contact with him, has been taken from all of those close to him far too early.”
Canales will continue to be lodged in the Macomb County Juvenile Justice Center. He is scheduled for a probable cause conference at 8:30 a.m. July 28 in front of 41B District Court Judge Jacob M. Femminineo Jr.

Arrest
from page 12A
The restaurant’s drive-thru reopened on Saturday, July 12, while the dining room remained closed.
In a prepared statement July 11, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido described the incident as an “absolutely senseless and heartbreaking tragedy.”
“A life was taken in an act of unimaginable violence. The victim leaves behind six children, six young lives that will now grow up without a parent,” Lucido said. “This isn’t just a statistic; this is a family shattered, a future forever altered.
“It is deeply troubling that we continue to see violence used as a response to conflict,” Lucido said. “How have we reached a point where, for some, the solution to a disagreement or problem is to pick up a weapon instead of finding a way to resolve differences peacefully? This should not be normal, and it must not be accepted as the status quo.”
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office identified the suspect as Afeni Badu Muhammad, 26, of Eastpointe. She was arraigned the next day, July 11, in 38th District Court before Judge Kathleen Galen,
charged with first-degree premeditated murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence without parole, and carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent, a five-year felony.
The judge set Muhammad’s bond at $25 million, cash or surety only. If bond is posted, Muhammad must wear a steel cuff tether, report daily to community corrections, and be tested for substance use.
Muhammad is also prohibited from contacting the victim’s family or returning to the McDonald’s.
At press time, Muhammad was being held at the Macomb County Jail. She requested a courtappointed attorney, according to court records. She is scheduled to have a probable cause conference July 23 and a preliminary examination July 30 in 38th District Court.
According to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, Muhammad was previously convicted in a separate incident involving a knife, which took place in Virginia in April 2022. In that case, she pleaded guilty in Alexandria Circuit Court to unlawful bodily injury without malicious intent, receiving a four-year suspended sentence and

Holish confirmed that an apparent video testimonial Muhammad posted to Instagram in the days prior to the assault was indeed legitimate. In the video, Muhammad complains about having been sent home early by Harris multiple days in a row, repeatedly calling Harris “a bully.”

ing to tell me I’m always snapping on people — no, that’s false. No, I don’t snap on people — I don’t go in there doing that. I told her, ‘No, I make peace.’ That’s what I’m doing,” Muhammad said in the video.
She later concluded her video by saying, “So, you know, she can keep being a bully if she wants to, but that (expletive) is going to catch up to her, because it ain’t funny at all — it ain’t.” If you know more about this incident, call Eastpointe police at (586) 445-9415.

Volkswagen
family did camp. The camping trips eventually stopped, but they still traveled up north via Volkswagen to a chalet in Houghton Lake, even in the wintertime.
“We used to freeze in the back,” Bols said. “My brother used to hog the little air vent in the back.”
And it was a tradition for Dad to play music from Frank Zappa during every ride.
“It’s always a fond memory for sure,” Bols said.
When Bols was 15, her dad took a break from driving Volkswagen buses. He eventually got back into the Westfalia’s driver’s seat. After Bols’ mom, Betty, died, Dad purchased the sage-green 1979 Volkswagen Westfalia camper bus T-2. He often cruised with his buddies at different local events, including the Woodward Dream Cruise and the Shorewood Kiwanis Club of St. Clair Shores Harper Charity Cruise. Bols is now the owner of the Volkswagen Westfalia camper bus T-2.
“I got it a couple years ago after my dad passed away,” Bols said.
Bols has taken good care of the vehicle, which has about 130,000 miles on it. The interior — with a warm, checkered decor — is all original. The vehicle has different components, including a comfortable sitting area with a table that swings out for meals. The two front seats swivel around to face the back of the vehicle for conversation. The retro ride is equipped with a sink, a holding tank and can be hooked up to running water.
When camping, the Volkswagen Westfalia can sleep four people. The rear bench seat folds down to make a bed for two. The pop-up roof lifts off to become a two-person bed when opened. But sometimes a little help is needed.
“It’s not the most comfortable sleeping arrangement,” Bols said. “We usually put an extra mattress down.”
The Westfalia has curtains that can be drawn shut to get a good night’s sleep, and Bols added some special touches to give the van a late 1970s vibe. Her husband gave her a handheld radio to display next to a clock radio. Bols also found a 1978 Coleco Football Electronic Quarterback handheld game, and a friend passed on a handheld Merlin electronic game — first made by Parker Brothers in 1978 — that feel right at home inside the bus.
While cruising and camping are fun, Bols prefers just to take the van to local car shows.
“Because it’s in such good shape, I want to preserve it,” she said.
Another reason is because the vehicle doesn’t gather much speed when on the road. It only drives about 55 mph. To alert other drivers, Bols placed a magnet on the back window that reads “Slow moving vehicle.”
“It’s a stick shift. It’s a smooth ride but there’s no power steering,” Bols said. “Getting used to driving it is a little bit of a challenge.”
The camper bus draws plenty of attention from onlookers. Many comments about the vintage vehicle come from people in their 20s.
“I always get peace signs out the windows and people honking,” Bols said.
Bols sometimes brings the bus to the monthly car shows from 5 to 8 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month at Sanders Chocolate and Ice Cream Shoppe, 23770 Hall Road in Clinton Township. At the last Sanders car show, the employee pick of the month was the Volkswagen bus.
“I was shocked,” said Bols, adding that she received a bag of candy for the recognition.
She also won an award last month during Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot, a five-day event that ended with a car show and cruise June 14. Again, she was surprised. She didn’t plan to attend the Eastpointe event, but her brother, Doug Bukantis, invited her, and at the last minute she decided to go.
An annual pastime has been heading up to Port Crescent State Park, in Port Austin, during the Halloween season for its annual fall harvest. It’s something the family did with Dad, who got into the spirit of the holiday by becoming “Skull Man.” He’d wear a skull mask and cape to greet trick-or-treaters through a fog machine that he set up. The bus was also decorated with skeletons and spider netting, and the tradition has continued.
According to the website autobarnclassiccars.com, Volkswagen began production of the Type 2 Microbus in 1967. Manufacturing continued through 1979, and there were many configurations of the Type 2 model.
“It was dubbed the Bay-Window Microbus with a one-piece windshield, sliding side door and a total of eight elongated windows for great visibility,” the website stated.
for business, they recruited Booden’s sister, Wendy Tomassi, to work as the office manager. Even on their busiest days, they are able to separate the work they do from their personal lives. Depending on each person’s strengths, the family members took on different roles.
“I guess just being familiar with the other person, you know how to work with them,” Booden said. “We knew how to leave the shop and leave the work here. Outside the shop, we didn’t talk about business. What we talked about was family.”
But working with family also brought challenges.
“We have our differences of opinion. We were able to work it out,” Booden said. “We can put everything out on the table, sit there and yell at each other, and 10 minutes later we’re fine. You can move forward.”
The trio worked together for many years until Bill retired. He passed away in 2008, and Booden and Tomassi carry on his legacy.
“He’s the one who taught me to be the person I am today,” Booden said. “I love it. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”
Family bonds
Gil Harris opened up a family business when he found himself unemployed in 1990. He and his wife, Patricia, attended a franchise show and a new career was born when Gil opened Midas Auto Service and Tires at Eight Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue in Warren 35 years ago.
“I didn’t know anything about the automotive world,” Gil said. “I knew how to deal with people.”
He worked 60- to 70-hour weeks, determined to make sure the business was profitable. Patricia encouraged her husband all along.
“She was confident in me. She was all for it. I was scared to death,” Gil remembered. “You put every ounce of your money and security into others’ lives and hope and pray like hell that it works.”
The gamble paid off because the family, including their son, Chris, was able to open four different Midas locations over the years with several highly skilled staff members. That first year, Gil was named National Rookie of the Year for Midas.
With support from Patricia and Chris, Gil eventually sold two of the shops and continues to operate two locations: 2995 E. Big Beaver Road in Troy, and 41300 Garfield Road in Clinton Township.
“I actually enjoy what I do,” Gil said. “It was a learning process. The franchise (representatives) helped. I know how to hire people that have anything to do with cars, oil changes to air conditioners, changing engines. I had to be able to provide security in their jobs. That’s what we do. My wife did the financial part, and I operated the hiring. I’m very happy.”
Currently, Chris is the general manager of the family franchise. He got his start running the Detroit location and fit right in with the automotive world. Gil is “mostly retired” and Patricia is “fully retired.” They are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary this year. Working together proved positive for the Harris family, including Chris’ children.
“We always got along. We got along very well,” Gil said. “That doesn’t mean we don’t have some issues along the way. We sit down and work through the issues and come to an agreement on what needs to be done. It’s not always easy. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Everyone has to find common ground.”
My approach, using advanced treatments, personalized care, and a commitment to saving limbs and lives, offers a new horizon for those afflicted with chronic foot wounds. If you or someone you know is navigating the challenges of foot wound care, the opportunity to transform this struggle into a story of healing and hope is within reach.
