Robert E. Kaye ’59

Body

Bob Kaye died Aug. 10, 2006. Bob’s last known residence was in New York City. We were unable to ascertain the cause or place of death.

Bob was born in Port Chester, N.Y., and attended Horace Mann School for Boys in preparation for Princeton. A premed student, he majored in economics, sang with the Glee Club, and ate at Dial Lodge. Following graduation he attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, followed by two years as a general medical officer in the Army at Fort Hood, Texas. From there he completed a residency at The New York Hospital in obstetrics and gynecology, the field in which he specialized in private practice in New York City for many years.

Bob enjoyed tennis and skiing. He was married to the former Wendy Burnham, with whom he had three children, Anthony, Hilary, and Andrew. The marriage ended in divorce. Bob is survived by his children, seven grandchildren, and a brother, Michael, to all of whom the class extends its condolences.
