Alan Ladd McPherson ’85

It is with great sadness that our class reports the death of Alan McPherson on Aug. 8, 2003, in Orefield, Pa.

Alan excelled in academics, football, and concert band at Matawan [N.J.] HS. At Princeton he earned a bachelor's in psychology and then received his MBA in finance at the U. of Hartford.

Alan lived in many places in the Northeast as he climbed the corporate ladder. Most recently, he was with Nestle Waters as regional logistics manager for the mid-Atlantic and Midwest, as well as plant manager of the Allentown facility.

Career aside, family and friends were everything to Alan. Known as the "host with the most," he would entertain with pranks, serve great meals, and offer the best bar in town! His Princeton buddies remember Al as a great card player and athlete, a lover of Pink Floyd, and a real sweetheart of a guy. His contagious laugh will be dearly missed.

Alan was predeceased by his parents, a brother, and a sister. He is survived by two sisters, four brothers, and his lifelong love and wife of 14 years, Amy. Our class extends deepest sympathy to all those Alan touched.
