Robert D. Batchelar ’50

Bob died Aug. 19, 2018, in Camp Hill, Pa.

Born in Jersey City, he graduated from Choate and served two years in the Navy before entering Princeton, where his father was in the Class of 1923. He majored in mechanical engineering, participated in crew, and was a member of Cloister.

One of his first jobs took him to French Morocco for the construction of an air base. It was there in 1952 he married his French wife, Andree. By our 25th reunion, Bob was living with his family in New Jersey, working as a plant engineer for Diamond Shamrock and active in civic affairs. Unfortunately, we have no information about his career and life after that, other than a move to Mechanicsburg, Pa., in early 2000.

Bob was predeceased by his wife and is survived by his son, Peter.
