Robert Gunther McCullam ’41

Bob died March 21, 2007, after a long and courageous bout with cancer.

He came to Princeton from the Pingry School, where he was president of his class. He majored in economics, was on the dean’s list all four years, and graduated with honors. A member of Cloister Inn, Bob roomed variously with George Knauer, Dick Kip, and Ross Beyer. He was active on the Nassau Lit board and the Princeton Sunday News.

After a stint at Western Electric, he joined the Navy in 1942 and served in the Navy Mine Depot in Virginia. Bob returned to Western Electric in 1946 and retired in 1978 as director of industrial engineering.

He did a great job as class secretary from 1981 to 1990. Always active in the Presbyterian Church, Bob became an elder.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Isobel Forbes Stewart McCullam; their daughter, Wendy Koller; and their two sons, Robert Jr. and John.
