Robert C. Reed ’61

Bob died May 27, 2015, in Rock Hill, S.C.

Born in Glen Ridge, N.J., he prepared at Kent School. At Princeton, “Reedo,” as he was known to many of us, majored in biology, played football, and took his meals at Tiger Inn. Bob was a member of the Glee Club, the Tigertones, Triangle Club, the Right Wing Club, and the Parachute Club. He roomed with Jerry Sullivan, Jack Sullivan, Charlie Morgan, John Clark, and Jim Wickenden, and died only a few weeks before their first-ever all-roomie reunion.

After earning his medical degree at Temple, Bob was in private practice in Alliance, Ohio, where he co-founded the Good Samaritan Medical Clinic. He was a trustee of the Alliance Community Hospital and a member of the Ohio State Medical Association and the Alliance Country Club. Bob received the Stark County Medical Society Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. In 2014, he and his wife, Sally, relocated to South Carolina.

He is survived by Sally, his wife of 51 years; his children John, Jennifer, and Collin, and their families, which include nine grandchildren; and two sisters.
