3/23/10

I'm very sorry to have learned of the passing of Robert A. (Bob) Harris from his son’s email: The class joins me in extending our sympathy to Bea and the Harris family.

 Dear Penn,

It  is  my sad  duty  to  inform  you  of  my  dad’s  passing  last  week.    He  graduated  in Dartmouth’s 1944 class and held the school in high regard.   Dad and my mother Beatrice attended many Dartmouth class reunions over the years— they met while he was enrolled at the school  (she attended  the nearby  Mary  Hitchcock School of  Nursing).  Dad had a special  place in  his heart  for Dartmouth  and spoke favorably of the school often.  Circa 2001 – 2002 he made a significant gift to Dartmouth after we sold Harris InfoSource,  the family business he co-founded with our mother, to Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.  

Dad  regaled  my  brother and  I  many  times  with tales  and fond  memories  from his Dartmouth College Days.
  

The Harris family would greatly appreciate it if you would use the appropriate class and college publishing resources to let his former classmates and  other alumni know that he has passed away.  Please convey this  information to the  Dartmouth alumni association.   Should you have any questions or  seek additional information about my father, please have someone contact either my mother, Beatrice (941 497-6866/ raha293@aol.com), or me.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Bob Harris, Jr.
