Bob died May 9, 2014, after a valiant four-year battle against pancreatic cancer.

Bob was born in Bethlehem, Pa., and came to Princeton from Deerfield Academy. He majored in architecture and was a varsity swimmer and a member of Charter Club. In his senior year he roomed with Bart Marsh. Deciding that classes at Stanford graduate school could not compete with golf at nearby Pebble Beach, Bob joined the Navy and spent four years assigned to the Philadelphia Navy Yard as a civil engineer.

After the Navy, Bob worked in New York for Clarke & Rapuano and the Uris Corp., landscape architecture and real estate-development firms, respectively. In 1975, he opened his own residential-architectural firm in Pennington, N.J. His houses and gardens can be seen from New Hampshire to Florida, and are a lasting reminder of his unwavering passion for what he did.

Bob never lost his love for Princeton, taking up residence on Cherry Valley Road in a home, naturally, of his own design. He will be remembered for his architectural talent, his love of golf and swimming, gardening and travel, and his unfailing sense of humor.

The class extends deepest sympathy to his wife, Bobbie, and daughter Laura ’89.
