Not sure what to say?

My dad, Joe Dewberry, began subscribing to Andrew Harper in the 80s and so began a legacy that he would pass on to my family of exploring the world. Thank you for a encouraging a life that led to many memories made in some of the most beautiful, secluded and luxurious places on this earth. It is a legacy that my now grown children have inherited and I hope will live on for generations. Condolences to your family. Much love and respect, Joel and Carolyn Roberts and family

Though we only know Mr . Atkinson as Andrew Harper , his opinions , ratings , reviews , recommendations, newsletters , and books have been a constant in our life since our first foray abroad more that 30 years ago.

Aunt Brenda - I am saddened to hear Uncle Robert has passed away. He always lit up the rooms he was in with his gifts for language and storytelling. The world has gotten a little darker with his passing. Cheryl and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

It was a sad week at Andrew Harper when we learned of the passing of our Founder, Robert Atkinson. I can confidently speak for all 70+ Andrew Harper employees, when I say, we are so proud to work for this company and to carry forward the vision and passion Robert had for Hideaway Report and Andrew Harper. While few of us had the privilege of working with Robert, we all feel a kinship to his dedication to the members and his commitment to honest reporting. To put it in his own words from the...

Sorry for your loss.

Brenda we are so sorry for your loss We will keep you in our prayers We know Robert is in a great place.
