Bob joined us from the Kent School. At Princeton he majored in psychology and played football, basketball, track, and rugby. He joined Charter and roomed with Dick Billings, Doug Hardy, and Alex Mills.

He went on to serve as an engineering officer in the Navy for two years and then worked at Phelps Dodge. In 1975 he earned an advanced management-program degree at Harvard Business School. In 1977 he became president of Kaman Musical String. Bob bought and managed two specialty-printing companies.

He retired to Suffield, Conn., where he pursued an active retirement as leader of the local monthly newspaper, the Suffield Observer, which founded a college scholarship in his name. He was president of the Calvary Episcopal Preschool, joined the Executive Service Corps and the Suffield Ethics Committee, and enjoyed racquet sports.

Bob died Dec. 1, 2016, leaving his wife, Margery; and children Lisa, Robert O.Y. IV, and Joseph ’85. To them we offer our condolences and our appreciation for his military service to our country.
