James H. Hudner ’47

Jim died peacefully Aug. 5, 2015, in Westport, Mass., where he had lived since 1984 with his wife, Florence, who had died recently.

After graduating from Phillips Andover Academy, he served in the Army and then went on to graduate from Princeton in 1950. Jim spent much of his career as an investment adviser and had a keen interest in the stock market. He enjoyed spending time within his communities, including the YMCA, Holy Name Church, the American Red Cross, and the Westport Council of Aging.

Respected by many for his integrity, Jim was genuinely interested in the well-being of others. Passionate about history and current affairs, he also enjoyed golf, tennis, and reading.

Jim was a devoted family man and leaves behind children James H. Hudner Jr., Edward Hatch Hudner, and Katherine Hudner Howd; their spouses; and eight grandsons. The class extends its deepest sympathies to his loving family.
