Robert M. Tobin ’66
Bob died March 25, 2023.
Born in Newark, N.J., he graduated from Irvington High School, where he played football, served on the yearbook staff, and was a member of the radio and math clubs.
At Princeton, he roomed with Doug Greene and Dave Pierce ’67, majored in electrical engineering, belonged to Dial Lodge, and participated in IAA sports.
Following Princeton, Bob received a doctorate at UCLA. Unhappy with electrical engineering, he earned a medical degree at the University of Miami. After completing his residency in New Jersey, he returned to California, where he worked as an anesthesiologist and senior physician scientist with Zynx Health. He resided in Woodbridge, N.J., at the time of his death.
Health concerns prevented him from attending our 50th reunion but he recalled as one of his “most memorable Princeton experiences” his telephone conversations with classmates who called from the event.
Bob is survived by his daughter, Kimberly Wilson, as well as several grandchildren, to whom the class extends its heartfelt condolences.
