Robert A. Hack ’44

Bob died Aug. 6, 2017, in Stamford, Conn.

At Princeton he majored in English and was in Cap and Gown. He was on the track team and the board of the Princeton Tiger. He first roomed with Bob Carlisle and later roomed with Art Morgan, Jim Drorbaugh, Jack Sinclair, Pete Wells, and Bob Holliday.

Bob left Princeton to serve three years in the Army, as a first lieutenant and later as captain of an oceangoing tugboat bringing supply ships to Le Havre, France. Post-war, he earned a Columbia law degree and spent his entire career at Jackson Nash in New York.

He lived in Greenwich, Conn., with his wife, Renee, for 67 years, serving at numerous local organizations. He was a founding trustee of the Greenwich Land Trust and was a trustee of Brunswick School and Greenwich Academy. His longtime aversion to street litter led him to found the Adopt-A-Road program to keep Greenwich pristine.

During their 67 years of marriage, Bob and Renee visited 54 countries. They often skied in New England and visited national parks. Renee predeceased Bob in 2012. He is survived by his children — his “six “jewels” — Randall ’69, Gabrielle, Darrell, Garrett ’74, Talbot ’84, and Mace ’86, and all their families.
