Charles Robert Bell ’52

Bob came to us from a high school in Hutchinson, Kan. At Princeton he majored in sociology, ate at Court, and played in the band and orchestra. His roommates were Laird McNichols, Bob Middlebrook, and Art Langlie.

After graduation Bob went on to Harvard Law School, graduating in 1955. Next came Navy service before he went back to Wichita to practice law, which he did until he was elected for three terms as a judge in the 18th judicial district. He retired to Vero Beach, Fla., where he was active in the Presbyterian Church as an elder and Stephen minister. All the while, he continued faithful attendance at Rotary.

Bob died Oct. 9, 2018. He is survived by his wife, Janice; and their five children, Barbara, Charles III, Nancy, Bradley, and James. The class offers them its sympathies, along with a salute to Bob for his Navy service and productive work in the law.
