Robert C. Dickhaus ’51
Bob died Jan. 5, 2000.
He was born in Brooklyn and grew up with a lifelong love of baseball - in fact, he came to Princeton on a full baseball scholarship. He was an economics major and a member of Cloister.
He served in army counterintelligence (1951-53). He worked for IBM for 15 years, then founded two successful businesses, LXX Computers (1970) and Telephone Operating Systems (1988).
Bob was involved in youth sports, first in coaching his children and later in helping underprivileged kids. He was very fond of Princeton and made most reunions when he lived in the Northeast. Since he owned his companies, he chose his business attire - a Princeton sweatshirt.
Bob is survived by his wife, Janice, and five children, Susan, Robert, Kara, Laura, and Brian.
The class will miss a dedicated Tiger and family man.
