Bob died Jan. 6, 2013, in Falmouth, Mass., a day after his 90th birthday.

At Princeton he majored in biology, roomed with Bob Deming and Don Thomson, and was in Dial Lodge. With acceleration providing an early degree, he went to Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, earned his medical degree in 1946, and joined the Summit (N.J.) Medical Group, where classmate Bun Terhune also practiced.

Bob married Nancy Allan in September 1945 and served two years as a captain in the Army until July 1947.

He was president of the staff at Overlook Hospital in Summit, N.J., while serving as a thoracic surgeon.

Winter vacations involved skiing in New Hampshire, and summers included sailing and tennis at a house the family built on Martha’s Vineyard. Bob was on a Princeton Schools and Scholarship Committee and attended the last 10 major reunions.

Nancy died after 65 years of marriage. Subsequently, Bob was in an assisted-living facility for the last two years. He is survived by his children, Patricia Ann, Susan, James, and Elizabeth; eight grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. He was known to classmates, family, and friends as an especially warm and quiet person. He will be missed by everyone.
