Alan M. Hochberg ’76

Alan died April 7, 2024, at his home in East Wallingford, Vt.

Born in New York and raised in Delaware, Alan came to Princeton after graduating from Brandywine High School in Wilmington. He majored in electrical engineering, ate at Stevenson Hall, was a member of Terrace Club, and served as chief engineer at WPRB. He spent much of his time at the E-Quad and Princeton Computer Center with Beatriz Infante, Lloyd Lawrence, Joseph Skudlarek, Jim Lyon ’75, and Tom Lyon ’78. After graduating with highest honors in electrical engineering, Alan continued his studies at Northeastern University with a pivot to biomedical engineering.

He was a loyal Princeton alumnus, serving as an ASC interviewer for decades in Pennsylvania, Switzerland, India, New York City, and Vermont. He was a regular participant on Zoom with ’76 Together Apart.

Alan’s career focused on patient safety, working for 13 years in Switzerland with Hoffman-La Roche, serving in the drug safety committee office. After retirement a few years ago, he and his family returned to the United States and settled in Vermont. In his 25th-reunion yearbook essay, Alan proudly wrote that he had received a second-degree black belt from the World Tang Soo Do Association. He also ran marathons and enjoyed photography.

The class officers send sincere condolences to Alan’s wife, Sandra; sons Max and Evan; daughter Janine Faben; two grandchildren; and sister Marian.
