Our memorable classmate Bill — so admired for his wit and unbounded enthusiasm for Princeton and ’47 — died Aug. 28, 2007.

During World War II, he served tours in both the Navy and the Army. Finishing Princeton in ’48, he next earned a law degree from Yale, an experience cherished thereafter by Bill.

His successful professional career was with the family firm of Wolf & Wolf in Washington, D.C. He focused on commercial real estate, but had a varied general practice and was also active in banking. He was a trustee of The Wolf-Pack Fund, which created a professorship in neuroscience at Children’s National Medical Center.

Alumni activities both for Yale (now home to the William B. Wolf Jr. Fund on Women and the Law) and for Princeton were dear to Bill’s heart.

Bill’s first marriage produced his three children, but ended in divorce. His 1981 marriage to Audrey brought three more children into his life, and rewarding travels in his later years. He was especially proud that two of his children, William B. III ’79 and Susan ’75, became Princeton grads. Along with daughter Vicki, they gave him six wonderful grandchildren.

Bill hosted one of our most well attended minis in Washington — a lavish, truly memorable event.
In praise of this loyal classmate we offer our affection to Audrey, Bill’s children, and the entire family.
