Bob died Jan. 8, 2002, of pneumonia. He had moved back to his native Caldwell, N.J., area from a home in Stamford, Conn., where he was active in the International Executive Service Corps. from 1985-89.
Bob came to Princeton from Lawrenceville, playing 150-lb. football and majoring in economics. He spent 1943-46 in the Navy, then returned to graduate in 1947. After working as a steel company representative out of NYC, he switched to advertising in 1960, working with Ogilvy & Mather, then in his own firm, Massey Advertising.
An energetically loyal Tiger, Bob enjoyed amateur dramatics, jazz drumming, and teaching literacy and the Bible. Married in 1949 to Jane Hocker, whom he later divorced, he raised two daughters, Anne and Susan, and a son, Robert. They and seven grandchildren survive. We join them in sympathy.
