Dr. B. Robert Miller ’37

BRILLIANT GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRIST and neurologist Bob Miller died July 7, 1991, leaving his wife, Shirley, two daughters, two sons, and six grandchildren.

Bob went to Stevens Prep where he was on the track team and active in student government and publications. At Princeton he majored in biology, taking Second Group Honors, and was on the rifle team four years (captain in 1937), the pistol team, the boxing team, and track and crosscountry squads.

He took his medical degree at Loyola University and did postgraduate work in psychiatry until entering the Navy in 1942. He served in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters and took part in the Philippine and Okinawa campaigns, as a member of the Medical Corps with the Marines, finally being stationed at Nagasaki, Japan.

By 1948 Bob was senior psychiatrist at Kings Park State Hospital and then opened his own office in New York as psychiatrist and neurologist. By 1949 he was assistant neuropsychiatrist at Montefiore Hospital, Morrisania City Hospital, Bellevue, Stamford Hospital, Christ Hospital, Marine Hospital, and Vanderbilt Neurological Institute, "keeping busy until almost midnight five nights a week." By 1957, he was chief psychiatrist at the Hospital for joint Diseases, consulting in four other hospitals and instructing at P&S. He summed up his career as being in New York, then Connecticut, then California, and back to Connecticut, as consultant in psychiatry at the Norwalk Hospital and attending at St. Vincent's in Bridgeport.

The Class sends its deepest condolences to Shirley and the family.
