Robert Morris Benjamin Jr. ’49

Bob Benjamin died in Southampton, N.Y., on Apr. 27, 1997. Born in NYC on Mar. 2, 1927, he prepared for college at Exeter, where he was on the hockey and tennis teams, and a member of the Glee Club. He spent two terms at Princeton and left, ultimately becoming a manufacturer's representative for firms in the furniture industry.

As president of Robert Benjamin Inc., he specialized in serving major accounts for office furniture, representing a number of western manufacturers. In 1996 he sold his townhouse in NYC and moved to Southampton.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Lou, and a son, Robert III. To them we extend our deep sympathy at the loss of this fine gentleman.
