Body

Bob died Jan. 5, 2017, peacefully in Princeton, N.J. He attended Princeton Country Day School and graduated from Taft School in Watertown, Conn.

At Princeton, Bob majored in English, played freshman soccer, and swam on the swimming team for two years. He sang in the University Chapel Choir and was a member of Tower Club. His senior-year roommates were Carls, Ober, John F. Scott, Stevenson, and Vultee.

After two years in the Army at Fort Polk, La., Bob began his professional life as a teacher. He taught for the next 20 years as a middle-school teacher and soccer coach at Princeton Day School. He took great pride in the final chapter of his teaching career by learning sign language and working at the New Jersey School for the Deaf until his retirement.

Bob was a nature enthusiast and enjoyed camping and hiking. He also worked with inner-city children at the Princeton Summer Camp in Blairstown, N.J. Bob enjoyed a very active social life, attending Scottish country dance classes for more than three decades.

He was twice married and divorced. Bob is survived by his daughter, Ann Paiva; son Andrew Brewster Carter Miller; two grandchildren; and his sister, Nancy Baylis Miller. The class extends its condolences to them all.
