Robert Stewart Wicks ’45

Bob died Mar. 31, 2000, in Westport Point, Mass., after a long illness. Bob entered Princeton from Lawrenceville, son of Dean of the Chapel Robert R. Wicks.

At Princeton, Bob was a member of Cloister and of the varsity hockey team and appropriately was a deacon of the chapel, following in the footsteps of his brothers, Alden '37 and David '40.

After graduation he attended Union Theological Seminary in NYC and became a teacher at Princeton Country Day School before joining the Lawrenceville faculty and later Newton South H.S. in Newton, Mass. Right after Bob's retirement from Newton, he concentrated his civic efforts on Westport, where he was a member of the schools committee and a communicant of the Society of Friends Meeting House.

Bob is survived by his wife, the former Barbara Bruce, by his daughter, Sue Slattery, his son, Borden, two sisters, Janet Grindley and Margaret Spicer, and by five grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends its deep sympathy.
