Richard Spaight Dobbs Bryan ’50

"Slim" Bryan died on Apr. 15, 2000, in Rumson, N.J. He was 72.

He prepared at Pomfret, where he was in the student government, was athletic store manager, and participated in crew and football.

At Princeton, Slim was on the freshman crew and was a member of the Film Club and Sons of '13. He left Princeton after the first semester of sophomore year.

Slim went right to work at L. Bamberger & Co. in Newark. After five years in sales and merchandising, he joined Chemical Bank in NYC. He remained there for the rest of his career, becoming executive v.p. before his retirement several years ago.

Slim came from a long continuous line of Princetonians beginning with a great-great-grandfather down through his father, Gray Mac W. Bryan '13.

His survivors include his wife of nearly 44 years, Betsey, and three daughters, Holly Hubbard, Martha, and Nancy Ketterer, to whom the class sends its deepest sympathies.
