In Loving Memory

OF BOB POORMAN

HardingPoorman is honored to have been graced by the vibrant spirit of Bob Poorman, a true print enthusiast. Bob's unwavering passion for the industry left an indelible mark on our company. Though he departed from us in 2014 after bravely battling ALS, his legacy lives on within the walls of our establishment.

As we fondly remember Bob, we celebrate his remarkable contributions to the world of print. For over 25 years, Bob played an instrumental role in shaping Shepard Poorman Communications and HardingPoorman into two of Indianapolis, Indiana's premier commercial printers. His dedication and vision continue to inspire us every day.

Step inside our facilities, and you'll sense Bob's enduring presence woven into the fabric of our culture. His spirit remains an integral part of the HardingPoorman team, and his memory will forever be cherished.
