Rob was born in Caracas, Venezuela; lived in Ankara, Turkey; and Barcelona, Spain; and attended secondary school at the Ecole International in Geneva, Switzerland. At Princeton, he majored in civil engineering, minored in architecture, and was active in the French and Spanish clubs. He served as treasurer of the Engineering Council and was a member of Cottage Club. He served as an officer in the Navy and returned to Princeton to earn his MFA degree in 1970.
In 1980, he joined Salomon Smith Barney in New York City as director of facility management and enjoyed working for Salomon worldwide. He married Dianne Borelszo and they had two children, Carey and Craig. Sadly, Dianne died suddenly in 2008. In 2011 he married JoAnn DuBois, a medical social worker in Petersburg, Va., where he had been living for a number of years. With homes also in West Windsor, N.J., and Tortola, Virgin Islands, Rob remained active in Princeton affairs and chaired our 35th reunion in 1999. He enjoyed historic-preservation work and was actively involved as president of the Historic Petersburg Foundation.
He is survived by JoAnn, Carey, and Craig. The class extends its deepest condolences to them all.
