Robert James Kaiser ’55

Bob Kaiser died July 15, 1995, in Louisville, Ky. Coming to Princeton from Louisville Male H.S., he rowed on the 150pound crew, played IAA basketball, and joined Key and Seal Club. He married Starr Craig in 1957 and after Northwestern Medical School returned to Louisville for his internship and residency. He also spent a postgraduate year in London and two years as chief of ophthalmology at the Naval Medical Center in New London, Conn. Bob was respected by his colleagues and beloved by his patients, many of whom considered it a high event to visit him.

Bob was a congenial host, who enjoyed his family and friends. "Now don't rush off" was a favorite prescription of his. History, boating, and "Old Nassau" were among his interests. He was a member of the US Power Squadron and enjoyed exploring the Ohio River in his boat. Nine years ago, he and Starr moved to Tartan's Landing, overlooking the boat and the river.

In addition to Starr, he is survived by his mother, Florence Kaiser; sister Florence Lee Wescott, brother James '58, son Robert, daughter Anne KaiserHarryman '82, son-in-law John Harryman '79, and three grandchildren. To all of them, we extend our sympathy.
