Robert C. Lamperti ’52

Bob came to the class from the military, where he enlisted for two years of Army service in Japan. He was valedictorian at North Plainfield (N.J.) High School. At Princeton, he majored in economics, graduating summa cum laude, and joined Elm Club. He played 150-pound football and worked in the business office at WPRU. He roomed with Don Hildum.

Bob worked at Graybar Electric Co., until 1963, then in executive jobs at Allied Chemical and Dye, Allied Corp., and Allied Signal, retiring in 1999. Then he and his wife, Clara, whom many of us met when she came with him to events or campus, went traveling.

Bob was a longtime member of the class executive committee, preparing a number of our class directories.

Bob died Jan. 18, 2023. He was predeceased by Clara in 2020. He is survived by their sons Donald and Jeffrey. To them the class sends good wishes and fond memories of their father, one of our very active brothers in class affairs.
