Robert Lovell Jr. ’52

Bob graduated from the Loomis School and majored in history. He took his meals at Quadrangle, was sports editor of The Daily Princetonian, and was a member of the Republican Club. He roomed with George Nankervis and was in the Navy ROTC program.

He spent his Navy service on destroyers and entered a highly successful career in investment management, beginning with Halsey-Stuart. Bob spent 30 years with Crum and Forster and subsidiaries, retiring in 2000. He served with distinction on the boards of the College Retirement Equities Fund and Morristown Memorial Hospital.

Ever a loyal Princetonian and generous to her, he was our class secretary for a number of years and was counted as a major giver to the University. He considered his years at Princeton among the happiest of his life.

Bob died Sept. 20, 2016, at home in Morristown, N.J. He is survived by his wife, Barbara; their children Kimberley, Kerry ’84, Anthony ’86, and Matthew; and six grandchildren. We shall all miss his genial presence, and the class thanks him for his Navy service to our country.
