DEDICATED VOLUNTEER & LEADER

Robert “Bob” Harper (Kathleen ‘08) | 1950-2021

The Flintridge Sacred Heart community is saddened to report that Robert “Bob” Harper, father of Kathleen Harper ‘08, passed away peacefully in his home in La Cañada Flintridge on December 31, 2021, at the age of 71. Harper was an invaluable leader for Flintridge Sacred Heart during an important time of transformation. But more than that he was a father, a husband and a friend.

A tremendous supporter of Flintridge Sacred Heart, Harper served as Chair of the Board of Directors. His steady and thoughtful leadership helped evolve the Board’s role in the school into what it is today. Harper helped guide the school through its first strategic plan, led the construction of the Mozilo Center for the Arts and helped negotiate the Master Plan with the City of La Cañada Flintridge.

Throughout his personal and professional life, Harper remained dedicated to his roots and constantly gave back to charitable causes, especially those that reflected his love of Catholic education.

Harper ’s children Brendan, Matthew and Kathleen were able to spend significant time with him this past year as he battled cancer, listening to his stories, getting advice and relishing in his love. Joan was always at his side, giving him love, support and comfort to the end of his life. He is also survived by his sister Annette, her husband Mark, and niece Christina.
