Robert W. Anthony Jr. ’37

BOB ANTHONY died July 24, 1990 of a sudden pulmonary embolism, leaving his widow, Nancy; son, Robert Wolcott (Cornell '64); and daughters, Anne Burnett and Deborah Dodge; a grandson; and a granddaughter. His funeral service in Trinity Episcopal Church in Asheville, N.C. was packed with over 400 people.

Bob came to Princeton from Mercersburg, was a member of Cloister at Princeton. He spent 43 years in retail, working for large stores such as Bloomingdale's, and finally, opening his own specialty store in Asheville, retiring in 1983. All along the way he was active in community affairs, being involved in projects to revitalize the downtown business district. Bob served as V.P. of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, president of the Asheville Merchants Assn., special gifts chairman for United Way and, in church work, as vestryman, senior warden, and lay reader. Always interested in Princeton, he was a member of the Princeton Club of Western N.C.

All our sympathies go to Bob's family and many friends on the loss of a great citizen,

The Class of 1937
