Robert Wood Long ’33

Bob Long died Dec. 9. 1995, in Colorado Springs, Colo. He prepared at Kansas City Country Day School. Bob was a swimmer on the freshman and varsity teams, president of the Civil Engineering Society, and a member of Cannon Club. He roomed all four years with Frank Dean.

After Harvard Business School, he worked for Long Construction Co. and was involved in many projects in Kansas City and in four military installations, for which the company earned the Army/Navy E Award. He served in the Navy in Bremerton, Wash., where he was in charge of construction. Later, Bob was director of construction for NASA during the Mercury Moon Project, served in a sales capacity for three international construction firms, and worked for IDS Real Estate Investment Trust disposing of distressed property.

Bob was able, enthusiastic, energetic, and high spirited, and he was a loyal alumnus. Last fall PAW published in the Oct. 25 class notes his account of how his father, John Coleman Long '03, came to Princeton from Kansas City and how he supported the university in later life.

Bob is survived by Louise, his wife of over 50 years, sons David and Charles Long, daughters Jane Borghi and Marcia Long, and by his brother Marshall Long '37 *38, to all of whom the class extends its sympathy.
