Robert S. Weatherly Jr. ’50

Bob died Dec. 30, 2014, in his native Birmingham, Ala.

He graduated from St. Louis (Mo.) Country Day School. At Princeton, he majored in politics, was active in Whig-Clio for four years, and was a member of Dial. After receiving his law degree from Harvard in 1953, he served two years in the Army, most of the time as chief court reporter for the Third Army. During his Army hitch, Bob married Mary Anne Burr.

After seven years of private practice in Birmingham, he joined the Vulcan Materials Co., where he held a series of high-level management positions until he retired in 1988. For five years thereafter, he headed Jefferson Federal Savings and Loan, Alabama’s largest thrift bank. During his career he participated in the Harvard Advanced Management Program and served as a distinguished lecture practitioner at the University of Georgia.

Bob is survived by his wife, Mary Anne; his brother, Michael ’54; his children, Robert and twins Henry and William; and six grandchildren, to whom we extend our sympathies.
