Bob came to Princeton after finishing at the Kiski School in Saltsburg, Pa., among the oldest all-male prep schools in the United States. At Princeton, he majored in art and archaeology, joined Charter and Westminster Fellowship, and roomed with John Emery and Giff Hart.

He left us for the Marines and then finished at the College of Wooster, graduating in 1956. He worked for IBM and, principally, as chief-of-billing for Cravath, Swaine & Moore. He was active in the Central Presbyterian Church and the Montclair Dramatic Club.

Bob died June 15, 2016. He is survived by his wife, Ruth Ann; their children, Susan, Carol ’82, and James; and Carol’s husband, Anthony Oliva ’82. To them all, the class offers good wishes. We salute Bob for his service to our country.
