Robert Eugene Hill ’39

Bob died Oct. 9, 2002, in Stamford, Conn. Except for his contribution to our 50th Yearbook, we've heard nothing from him in recent years. In that submission, he told us that our class's postreunion trips had meant very much to him.

Bob left Princeton junior year, took a secretarial course, and became a salesman in his father's industrial real estate firm. In the Army from 1942-46, he had special assignments with coast artillery and military police in Alaska. After the war, he enrolled at Golden Gate College, received a BBA in 1949, and then resumed working in Westfield, N.J., as owner of Hill & Hill, Inc., specializing in industrial real estate. He and Ruth Vollmer married in 1946 but later divorced. They had a daughter, Kathleen, and son, James. Bob later married Marietta Kuoult, whom we knew as Poni when we met her on class trips. Poni died a few years ago.

Bob is survived by his children; two grandsons; and two stepsons, Doug and Tom Hackett. To them all we extend our sympathy.
