Robert Scott Miner ’68

Scott died Dec. 4, 2023, of cancer in Surprise, Ariz.

He came to us from Westfield (N.J.) Senior High School, where he was editor of the yearbook. At Princeton, he majored in history and was active in the Student Pizza Agency and the Memorial Fund Drive. He ate at Charter Club and lived in 313 Walker Hall his senior year.

Upon graduating, Scott immediately entered active duty in the Navy, but not before marrying his high school sweetheart, Dorothy. He served six years in various billets (Norfolk, London, Washington, D.C.) before transitioning to the Navy Reserve, where he completed 20 years of military service, attaining the rank of captain. After leaving active duty, he joined the U.S. government in various high level national-security roles, primarily in the Pentagon. While there, he earned a master’s degree from the University of Southern California. In retirement, he enjoyed traveling, cooking, bridge, golf, and learning about wines.

The class extends its deepest sympathies to Dorothy; daughter Kathy; grandchildren Jane and Laurel; as well as his extended family and friends.
