Hunter Delatour died Jan. 17, 2013, in Carmel, Calif.
Hunter prepared for Princeton at Great Neck (N.Y.) High School, where he was on the tennis team and active in student government. At Princeton he majored in modern languages and graduated with honors. He was a basketball manager and a member of St. Paul’s Society and Tower Club. Freshman, sophomore, and junior years he roomed in Henry Hall, and senior year he roomed with David S. Speer in Patton Hall.
Following graduation, Hunter worked in the optical business and developed his own company. Throughout his life he had an interest in tennis, initially as a player and thereafter in various tennis associations, serving as president of the U.S. Tennis Association in 1983–84. He was instrumental in developing opportunities for young people to learn the game through school programs and worked with international tennis committees as well.
He is survived by his wife, Eugenie, whom he met in Washington, D.C., while serving in the Navy during World War II. For his work during the war, he was named an honorary member of the Order of the British Empire.
He also is survived by his daughters, Anne, Debbie, and Susan, and five grandchildren, to all of whom we send heartfelt sympathy.
