Bob was the son of Robert ’26, and came to us from Deerfield Academy. He joined the freshman swim team at Princeton and roomed with Tom Melohn, John Ames, and Tom Unterberg. He left us after freshman year and transferred to Oberlin College.

After Oberlin he served in the military, then worked for IBM and sold real estate in Cleveland. His next move was to enter medical training at Case Western Reserve, from which he graduated in 1969. Beginning in 1973, Bob practiced psychiatry in Kalamazoo, Mich., and then joined the staff of Kalamazoo State Hospital, remaining until 2001, when he retired.

Bob died Aug. 29, 2016, leaving two daughters, Belinda and Laura. The class offers its condolences.
