Robert Hackworth Swope ’60

Body

Bob Swope died of lung cancer Oct. 29, 2006, at his home in Annapolis, Md.

A native of the District of Columbia, Bob came to Princeton from St. Alban’s School. He managed hockey in our freshman and sophomore years, sang in a barbershop quartet, and was a member of Dial Lodge. He majored in mechanical engineering.

Bob then worked as a senior engineer with Northrop Services at the Goddard Space Flight Center and retired from Mantech International Corp. He volunteered extensively with his county library system and with the American Red Cross.

Bob’s children, Gary and Betsy Swope, survive him, as does his brother, Richard.

The class extends sympathy to his family.
