Al died Oct. 15, 2013, in New York City of pancreatic cancer.

Al came to Princeton from Westfield (N.J.) High School and majored in history. He earned a law degree from Yale.

In 1971, Al joined the firm of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, where he was a partner for 28 years until his retirement in 2008. An international corporate-finance specialist, he began his career in New York but spent 17 years in the firm’s overseas offices.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Al was active in the Summit, N.J., public schools and served on the board of education for six years, including a year as president. While living in Frankfurt, Al was the Princeton Alumni Schools Committee chair. For several years, he served on the board of the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction, working to end poverty in Africa and Asia.

Family, friends, and travel were Al’s passions, as was Princeton. Al’s father was in the Class of ’24 and his grandfather was 1899. He was predeceased by his brother, Bruce ’62.

In retirement, Al enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and exploring New York City.

Al is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Anne; children John ’95, Catherine ’95, Mary Kay ’99, and Ashley ’11; and grandchildren Griffin, Colette, and Walker. The class extends profound sympathy to them all.
