It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Robert Francis “Bob” Jordan, the US-Asia Institute’s (USAI) long-time senior advisor and Vice President for International and Government Affairs, mentor, and friend, who passed away on August 24, 2024 at the age of 97. We all benefited over four decades from Bob’s sage advice, his insightful and entertaining firsthand observations, his “eagle eye” reviewing countless documents, and his unfailing belief in, and support of, the US-Asia Institute. We were indeed fortunate to have him by our side and in our lives.
