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.
