Bob died Feb. 27, 2017. Born in Woodbury, N.J., he graduated from Pitman High School.

At Princeton he was a member of Cloister Inn, majored in politics, and was active in the Wesley Foundation.

After graduation, he served a tour of duty in the Army and then completed master’s and doctoral degrees in education from Rutgers. He taught science at Woodstown High School and became a guidance director. He subsequently became the dean of students at Glassboro State College.

Bob moved his family to Maine and worked as a psychology professor at the University of Maine at Farmington for the next 30 years, retiring in 1997 as professor emeritus. He ran the national student exchange program for many years and was noted for his dedication to his students. He had a great sense of humor and was an avid reader, having read the complete works of Shakespeare and all seven Harry Potter books. His genius was to read something once and never forget it. Mystery was his favorite genre. He volunteered for many local causes, including the Special Olympics, which became dear to him. When asked if there was anything he would like to have said about him, he replied, “I tried.”

Bob is survived by his wife, Kim; son Bob; daughters Linda, Hilary, and Meredith; and two granddaughters. He considered his family to be the center of his universe. The class is honored by his service to our country and extends its condolences to his family.
