Robert C. Hoffman ’43
Bob died on Nov. 7, 2000. He was 79.
Born in Hopewell, N.J., he lived in Princeton and graduated from Princeton H.S. in 1939 and from Princeton with a degree in mathematics.
Bob was an Army veteran of WWII. Following the war, he chose the insurance field, finally retiring in 1986 after 41 years at Metropolitan Life in NYC with the rank of vice president.
Bob's many outside interests included the Society of Actuaries, Princeton's Tower Club, St. Vincent de Paul Society, and AARP.
He is survived by his wife, the former Sarah McCafferty; two sons, R. Douglas and Stephen; three daughters, Kathleen Lakarosky, Liz Cramp, and Jo Hoffman-Davis; 16 grandchildren, and two great-grand-
children. To the entire family, we extend our most heartfelt sympathies.
