Robert Stevens Forman ’39

BOB FORMAN, a distinguished Long Island lawyer and public servant, died of cancer July 25, 1990, in Sands Point, N.Y., where he had lived for over 60 years.

Entering Princeton from St. Paul's School, Garden City, he played golf and basketball in college and was a member of Cloister inn. He majored in classics, graduating with honors. He received his L.L.B. at Columbia in 1942, then served four years in the Army Corps of Engineers. He retired from the Reserve in 1979. After WWII he started his own law firm and continued practicing for the rest of his life. "I intended to teach," he once wrote, "became a lawyer instead, and have not regretted it." Bob was dedicated to his community, serving numerous civic, political, educational and healthcare organizations on the Long island he loved.

His first wife, the former Mary Klingsmith, died in 1974. He later married the former Marcia Willis. She survives him, as do his four sons: Robert Jr., Michael, Guy '77, and Christopher; two stepdaughters, Patricia and Cynthia Willis; his sister, Kathryn; brother, Alexander; and five grandchildren. To all of them we send our deepest sympathy in their loss,
