He was an industry expert witness for US Congress, guest lecturer at Harvard Business School and subject of a case study published by McGraw-Hill. He was interviewed on CNBC and cited in various publications including Newsweek, Business Week and Advertising Age.
Robert lived life to the fullest, and was often heard saying “Carpe Diem”. He was an avid UCONN huskies fan and retired to Storrs to be active with alumni groups, follow his favorite UCONN women’s basketball team and be a short drive away from his favorite Dairy Barn. He loved to travel, participated in a short stories book club, going to the theatre and museums, performing magic tricks and always enjoyed a good conversation with a scotch in hand.
Robert was a long time resident of Darien, having raised his two sons there. Robert is survived by his son Christopher Jordan of West Palm Beach, FL; son Garrett Jordan and his wife Beth of Hingham, MA; brother Steve Jordan and nephew Ryan Jordan of Wethersfield, CT and three grandchildren, Alexis, Piper and Liam.
