With great sadness, the Industrial Fasteners Institute (IFI), announces the passing of retired managing director, Robert J. Harris. Having joined the IFI as Managing Director in 1995, Harris is credited with seeing the organization through major milestones including navigating the Institute through the Fastener Quality Act and restructuring its financial stability.
“Rob was a friend, ardent supporter, mentor and always a willing sounding board for ideas,” said Dan Walker, Managing Director of the IFI. “Rob will be sorely missed by us all. Our thoughts are with Patricia, Nathan, Julie, his entire family, as well as his many friends throughout our industry.”
Harris mobilized the IFI membership participation through the successful publication of the 7th, 8th and 9th Inch Fastener Standards and 3rd Metric Fastener Standards editions. And he is noted for reorganizing the IFI to focus on key technical and divisional leadership positions.
Harris retired from the IFI at the end of 2017 and recently celebrated his 75th birthday before passing in January of 2022. The Harris family has suggested that in lieu of flowers, that contributions could be made in Rob's memory to Rescue Village or the Pat Meade Memorial Scholarship fund at Compton College (Re: In honor of Robert J. Harris 1111 E. Artesia Blvd. Compton, CA 90221 Attn: Reuben James.)
