Virginia Rubber Corp. founder Harry Ronald Selfe dies at 86
Harry Ronald Selfe of Clifton, Virginia, founder of Virginia Rubber Corp., died at Arden Courts Memory Care unit Jan. 14, 2022, at the age of 86.
Selfe began his career in the industry as a salesman at Industrial Rubber in Maryland. In June of 1974, he left Industrial Rubber to form Virginia Rubber Corp., selling industrial hose and supplies. Working with two salesmen, he grew the business and interacted with many vendors, creating long-lasting relationships that survive today.
When his son Ron took over in 2007, Selfe came to work daily, attending the pumper trade shows and meeting with vendors. As his memory declined and the business grew, he would still come to work daily, helping out as best he could. Cars and biking were his passions and he spent much of his time with his beloved employees talking about them.
He is survived by his wife Judy, sons Ron and Brian, Brian’s wife Andy, and granddaughter Tori.
