Norman Bridge Roberg ’30
Norm died Jan. 8, 1997, in Rome, Italy, two weeks after the death of his wife, Elena.
Born in Chicago, he prepared at Lake Forest Academy. At Princeton he was a member of Arbor Inn. In 1934 he graduated from Harvard Medical School. He married Italianborn Elena de Laurentis in 1937. During WWII, he served as a major as chief of medical services of the Army Medical Corps attached to the Air Force.
He had an outstanding career as professor of medicine at the U. of Illinois. Complicated back surgery forced his retirement in 1967, and he and his wife moved to Italy, where they divided their time between rural Umbria and Rome.
He is survived by his brother Ted Roberg MD '37. To Ted and his family, we extend our deep sympathy.
