Robert Ervin Zimmerman ’57

It is with regret that we report the death of Robert Ervin "Zim" Zimmerman. Bob grew up in Akron, Ohio, where he attended Garfield H.S. and came to Princeton in 1953. During his senior year he roomed with Hugh Cannon, Don McElwee, and Dave Savage at Cannon Club, where he had been elected pres. He was among the most respected and best liked members of our class.

Bob graduated from the Harvard business school, married, and served in the army as an artillery officer. He began his business career with IBM, later joined Goodyear, and subsequently served as a senior corporate officer and pres. of several companies in the furniture industry.

Bob is survived by his former wife, Lynne Zimmerman Tate, a daughter, Laura, three sons, Mark, Scott, and Richard. Nine grandchildren survive as well.

We have lost a valued friend and classmate, a man who saw things and "told it as it was." Our class extends its deepest sympathy to Bob's family.
