Robert Allen Engle ’52

Bob came to Princeton from Hightstown (N.J.) High School. He joined Dial and majored in electrical engineering, joined the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE), and managed the baseball team.

He left college early to join the Air Force, flying an F-89 fighter-interceptor. He then finished his bachelor’s degree at Wilkes College and took a job with the New Jersey Department of Transportation, from which he retired in 1983 as director of the planning division.

Bob married Marilyn Bellis, who predeceased him. They had five children, Deborah, William, Robert, Charles, and Susan. To them all, we send condolences for Bob’s death July 27, 2013, along with respect for their father’s service to our country.
