Class president and secretary Bill Kelley died Dec. 17, 2012, surrounded by his family in New Haven, Mo., after a long battle with cancer.
Bill was born in St. Louis and graduated from Webster Groves High School. At Princeton he participated in football and track and was a member of the Chapel Choir and Tower Club. He graduated with a degree in chemical engineering. In 1942 he married Mary Ramsay of Webster Groves.
Following college, Bill worked for Monsanto Chemical Co. Much of his life was spent in manufacturing and he served as president of several companies.
He was actively involved in civic affairs in his community and state. He served as president of the New Haven school board and as district board chairman of the Boy Scouts. He was a member of the Princeton Club of St. Louis.
His life was filled with many interests. He and Mary loved to travel and visited all the continents of the world except Antarctica.
Our sympathy goes to Mary; Bill’s sons, William N. Jr. ’66 and Timothy R.; two grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. We are sad to have lost an untiring supporter of our great class.
