Bob died June 14, 2017, in Bay City, Mich., the city of his birth. He was one of our World War II Army veterans who served in France and Germany.

Graduation from Deerfield Academy and Army service preceded Princeton. He sang with the Nassoons, was a member of Tower, and majored in psychology.

Bob retired from MCI Insurance in 1989. True to his Michigan roots, he spent summers at Point Lookout on Lake Huron for his entire life. There he enjoyed playing tennis and golf and the company of his many friends. He sang in a Bay City church choir for more than 50 years and served many years as a deacon.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Marian; daughters Helen and Amy; son Tom; four granddaughters; and two great-grandchildren.
