Robert F. Van Duzer Jr. ’62

Bob died Dec. 21, 2017, in Allentown, Pa., from complications of Parkinson’s disease.

Bob came to us from Madison (N.J.) High School, where he was class valedictorian, graduating with the highest academic standing in the history of that school.

Freshman year he roomed with Josh Roth, Steve Huebner, and Bob Ludgin. He left Princeton in the middle of sophomore year, returned briefly as a member of the Class of ’64, and graduated from Florida State University in 1965. A lifelong learner, Bob ended his academic studies by earning a law degree from Widener University. Bob also was a CPA, a certified financial planner, and a certified valuation analyst. He was a member of the Burger King system for 40 years, both as an employee and franchisee.

Although Bob felt he received a good education at FSU, his heart was always with Princeton. He and his wife, Mary, often visited Princeton and were members of the Princeton Club of New York. He and Bob Ludgin stayed in contact over the years.

Bob was a devoted husband and father. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Mary; and their children, Robert and Leigh. The class extends its condolences to all.
