Ronald Lee Harper
CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Harper Corporation announced the passing of Ronald “Ron” Lee Harper, who died on April 14, 2012. The co-founder of Harper Corporation, Ron and his wife, Katherine, launched the business in 1971, and since that time, have dedicated their time and energy to the flexographic industry, about which Ron was exceedingly passionate.
In addition to running Harper Corporation of America, Harper wrote several books, including “The Harder I Work, The Luckier I Get.” The Harpers have also supported the efforts of many colleges, including those in the Carolinas, Chicago, California, and Wisconsin, which have created departments and buildings that bear their name in honor of their patronage. Additionally, the generosity of Ron and Katherine has resulted in the Ron and Katherine Harper Scholarship Fund and The Harper National Flexographic Center at CPCC.
Ron and Katherine donated generously to Clemson University for the development of its graphics department. Likewise, they spearheaded the raising of one million dollars in 1999, which was donated to improve flexographic education in high school programs. To get the drive started, the Harpers personally contributed the first $100,000. Over the years, the Harpers assisted in the creation of flexographic printing programs in 21 high schools and 32 colleges across the United States, Canada, Argentina, and Costa Rica.
