Frederick Haines died May 17, 2013, in Fort Wayne, Ind.

Fred entered Princeton from the King School in Stamford, Conn., following his brother Frank ’41 and preceding his brother Bill ’47. Fred joined Key and Seal and participated in varsity track before serv-ing in the Army Signal Corps in the Pacific theater. Returning to Princeton, he earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering in 1947.

His first job was with Phelps Dodge Corp. in Fort Wayne, but he soon founded the Protective Coat-ings Co., which manufactured rubber lining for railroad tank cars. Fred served the firm as chief en-gineer as well as principal salesman, traveling all around the country to solicit business.

He married Lucille Lemke of Fort Wayne in 1949.

In our 50th yearbook, Fred expressed his appreciation of Princeton. He concluded, “My heart fills with pride as I learn of so many Princeton men who have given all or part of their working lives to positions of leadership in our nation.”

Fred was preceded in death by Lucille. He is survived by his brother Frank; his daughter, Mary Snow; sons Bill and Joseph; and a granddaughter. The class expresses its sympathy to the family.
