Robert W. Shell ’41

Body

Bob died Dec. 3, 2001. A graduate of Asheville (N.C.) School, he left Princeton at the end of sophomore year.

We lost touch with Bob until the publication of our 50th-reunion book, when we learned that, in the late 1940s and the  

1950s, he was working for Shellam Co. in Cincinnati. In the 1960s he moved to Panama with Cemento Atlantico S.A., before becoming president of Mining Services Co. in Apollo Beach, Fla.
