A.L. Waldo Stockton ’43

Body

Rebel died March 23, 2005, in Atlantic Beach, Fla. He was 83.

A Jacksonville, Fla., native, he attended Ortega Public School, the Bolles School, and The Hill School, prior to Princeton.

During World War II, Rebel served in the European theater as a lieutenant of artillery.

He received his law degree from the University of Florida in 1948, becoming an associate with Stockton, Ulmer, and Murchison. He and his brother, William '41, later formed the Stockton and Stockton law firm in Jacksonville. Rebel also served four years with Judge Harry H. Martin as an assistant Duval County solicitor.

He was a member of the Jacksonville and Florida bar associations for more than half a century, a founding member and past president of Selva Marina Country Club, a founding director of the Ocean State Bank, and was active in a host of other organizations.

Rebel was an avid sportsman, enjoying skiing, swimming, tennis, golf, and any sport involving his beloved Florida Gators.

He is survived by his wife, Ursula Joanne; a son, Richard L.; and four grandchildren. To the entire family, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies.
