Robert R. Malin ’82

Body

Bob Malin died suddenly of a heart attack June 23, 2006, while jogging during a family vacation in Rome.

Bob majored in economics at Princeton, played two years of football, was vice president of the Karate Club, and was a member of Dial Lodge, where he rarely missed Wednesday-Night Club. After Princeton, Bob worked in finance. At the time of his death, he was managing director and co-head of Citigroup’s asset-backed finance group. Bob was highly respected in his field as an innovative thinker and a generous mentor.

Bob’s family meant the world to him. They lived in Manhattan and had a second home on the Connecticut shore. Bob was a competitive sailor, a regular at the gym, a wine enthusiast, a volunteer public-school tutor, and a lifelong music lover — a pastime that led him to establish a rock-music program at his son’s school. He was a shining example of how to balance career success with a loving family life and pursuit of a variety of interests.

The class extends deepest sympathy to Bob’s wife, Gina; his children, Andrew, Isabelle, and Christina; his parents, Donna and Richard; his siblings, Tom and Cindy; and his extended family and many friends.
