In Loving Memory
It is with a heavy heart that the trustees of Titanic International Society announce the passing today of Robert Bracken.
Bob, born in PA, was a retired teacher of social studies and taught in Ridgewood, N.J. Bob, who lived in Midland Park, N.J., read A Night to Remember at age 11, sparking his interest in the Titanic. His special interest was the passengers, and he had researched them for many years.
Bob became a TIS member in 1990, a trustee in 1996, and our treasurer in 2003. He has written many articles on the passengers in Voyage, the TIS journal, and a passenger list he developed has been published and used in exhibits in Europe.
Many of you will remember Bob from conventions and special projects to place memorial stones on the graves of Titanic’s people. How we will miss his gentle voice, calm, patient personality and ever-ready smile for everyone! R.I.P., old friend. Fair winds and following seas….
