Robert R. Lane ’44

Bob died in May of 1999, of a heart condition, after being in failing health for some time, in Phoenix, where he had been living for many years.

After transferring from the Hill School, Bob came to Princeton from Berkshire Academy, and was originally in the Class of '43. A WWII naval aviator, he was assigned to '44 after the war when he received his diploma in June 1947. He joined Eastman Kodak in Rochester, was married, divorced, and decided to live in Phoenix so as to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. He married again and also received a master's in psychology.

He was the youngest of 11 children, two of whom were the late Art Lane '34 and Al Lane '40, both major contributors on Princeton football teams. Bob had no children and is survived by several of his siblings.
