T. Robert Frost ’33
Bob Frost died Dec. 22, 1996, of complications from a leg fracture he had sustained in his home four days earlier. At the time of his death, he and Rebecca, his wife of 60 years, were living at their summer home on Lake Waramaug in New Preston, Conn., where they had lived since Bob's retirement in 1975.
Bob came to Princeton from New Rochelle H.S. He was a member of Terrace Club, studied engineering, and was active in and served as president of the Engineering Society.
His first job after graduation was with the Turner Construction Co. He remained with Turner throughout his 41-year career, working first in Boston and then in New York. He was a v.p. and a member of the board of directors at the time of his retirement.
In retirement, Bob was active in community affairs in New Preston. He reported at our 20th that he "devoted most of his leisure hours to his family." In the last 20 years he and his wife traveled extensively throughout the world.
Bob is survived by Rebecca, his son, Thomas R. Jr. '62, who kindly helped with this report, his daughters, Natalie F. Weeks and Beverly F. Corwin, six grandchildren, and a great-granddaughter, to all of whom we extend our sympathy.
