Robert Underwood Parish ’49

Bob, who was born in Houston, died there Mar. 30, 1998.

Bob prepared at the Kinkaid School and Andover and served in the Navy from 1943-46 in the Pacific theater. He transferred to Princeton as a junior in Feb. 1947, having been in the Naval Training Program at Holy Cross.

At Princeton, he majored in economics, achieving honors in the subject. He was a member of Cap & Gown, president of the Andover school committee, and was an active member of Orange Key. He transferred to '49 from '47 prior to our 20th reunion, at which time he was a senior v.p. of the Houston Natl. Bank. By our 25th reunion he was a self-employed investment advisor and remained that for the rest of his career.

Bob remained single all his life and loved to travel, going to Europe frequently. Devoted to Princeton, he had been a schools committee member and president of the regional alumni association. At his death he was survived by two nieces, Betsy and Marion. To them we extend our most sincere sympathies.
