Robert Morris Green Jr. ’40

Only very recently have we learned of the death of Bob Green in Oct. 1996, from Alzheimer's disease. He was the son of Robert '13. Jim '41 and John '42 were his brothers. According to class records Bob prepared at Loomis School but left Princeton in the winter of sophomore year and worked for the Provincial magazine in Indianapolis. During WWII, Bob served in an Army anti-aircraft unit and was honorably discharged in 1944 with a 40-percent disability.

His subsequent career was in journalism and freelance writing with employment in Newark, N.J., Idaho, and Toronto. Our 40th Year Book shows his home to have been on St. Simon's Island, Ga. Music was in Bob's blood, and he played the bagpipes and Dixie clarinet.

Bob leaves his wife, Inez, three daughters, two sons, and 10 grandchildren. We are sorry not to have known Bob better, but touch with him was lost at an early date, and there is no record of his ever having returned to Princeton.
