Bob died Feb. 7, 1999, at the home of his son, Kenneth '68, in Manassas, Va. He retired some years ago after a career in retailing. He suffered a near-fatal heart attack in 1994.

Having prepared for Princeton at Germantown Academy, Bob majored in politics and was a member of Campus Club. Following graduation he spent four years in the Marine Corps during WWII, serving in the southwest Pacific theater. His final rank was first lieutenant.

After the war Bob worked for a number of years as a salesman for Equitable Life Insurance Co., in Philadelphia, and then for Sears Roebuck & Co. as assistant manager of retail merchandising. Bob was predeceased by his wife of 53 years, Doris, in 1996. He was active as a volunteer with Meals on Wheels and Food Closet.

To his daughter, Joan; to his son Kenneth '68; and to his grandchild, the class offers its most sincere condolences.
