Robert Morgan Entwisle Jr. ’38

Body

Friends mourn the death of Bob Entwisle Jan. 24, 1996. Except for his four years as a captain in the Air Force, he spent most of his life in and around Pittsburgh.

Son and namesake of a member of '10, he entered Princeton from Peabody H.S. He majored in politics and English. A fan of big bands, he was a drummer in Triangle Club bands and was active in Elm Club. He earned his law degree at Univ. of Pittsburgh in 1941. After military service he founded the law firm Miller & Entwisle, where his son Robert III later joined him. He served as deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania and was secretary of the Allegheny County Bar Assn. and borough council president, among other activities. Although admired for his thoughtful demeanor, he was also enthusiastic about his hobbies, drums, piano, tennis, writing (six unpublished volumes of fiction), and reading.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, the former Jeannette Bricker, three children, Robert, Thomas, and Elizabeth Restivo, and his brothers, William '51 and John. The class joins them in celebrating the life of a highly respected member.
