Robert Seymour Fisher ’29

Body

BOB DIED in his home in Key Largo, Fla., Nov. 15, 1991. He had not been with us long, transferring in 1926 to Colgate, where he graduated in 1930. He was chairman and C.E.O. of the Hubinger Co. of Keokuk, Iowa, a leading corn refining company which was sold to HJ. Heinz in 1975. Bob was a famous sportsman and aviator, who was a captain in the Army Air Force during the war and continued flying privately until 1980. He married Ruth Jones in 1930, and she survives, together with their daughter Lynn. The Class extends sincere sympathy to them.
