Robert Schilling ’47

Bob died tragically Feb. 18, 2012, in Henderson, Nev.

After graduating from New Brunswick (N.J.) High School he entered Harvard but later transferred to Princeton. Bob earned a medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine and also a master’s degree in internal medicine. During the early 1950s, Bob served two years with the Air Force in Europe, separating as a captain. After leaving the military he started his own practice in cardiology and internal medicine in Palm Beach, Fla. 

In the 1970s, Bob transitioned to investing and worked as a real-estate broker in the Palm Beach area. During these years he spent much time traveling in Europe, particularly in Italy and Spain. In the 1990s he moved to Philadelphia, where he immersed himself in that city’s outstanding cultural activities, and in 2002 Bob moved to Henderson to be closer to his children.

He is survived by four daughters, two sons, and three grandchildren. The class extends its sympathy to them all.
