Robert Morton Price ’37

Body

Bob died April 21, 2004.

Bob came to Princeton from Choate, was on the freshman track and football teams, was treasurer of Cloister Inn, and majored in architecture. He earned a master's in architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. He served with the Navy in the Pacific theater, earned four battle stars, survived two typhoons, and became a lieutenant.

He was with United Engineers and Construction Co. in Philadelphia from

1946 until 1963, when he left to become a partner in Louis Klander Associates in Philadelphia. After retiring from that position in 1975, he stayed on as a consulting engineer until 1980.

After retiring completely, Bob divided his time between Delray Beach, Fla. and Mantoloking, N.J. Sailing was his great love, and he was proud of six round trips he made on his Xanthippe III on the Intracoastal Waterway.

Bob is survived by his wife, Margaret; son Henry; daughters Sarah Bush and Polly Grace; four grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. Our sincere sympathies to all.
