Alan Tredennick ’32

ALAN TREDENNICK, a quiet but widely respected member of our Class, died Jan. 29, 1992, at the Medical Center in Princeton. He had suffered a stroke a few years ago, and was then ravaged by increasingly severe emphysema, which at the end of his life made it impossible for him to play golf or do any of the other things he so liked, such as working with the Boy Scouts, whose cause he had fostered for many years as head of the Thomas Edison Council in New Jersey.

Alan came to us from Choate. At Princeton he roomed with John Galey and was a member of Cottage Club. His entire working life was spent with Helme Products, makers of tobacco and snuff, from which he retired as V.P. in 1975. He married the former Kate Payson in 1937 and settled with her in Princeton, where they raised three children: Alan P., Joan, and Anne Chacchia. Their stay in Princeton was a long and happy one, much of which Alan spent on the Pretty Brook golf course. With their children raised and gone, he and Kate moved to a nearby retirement community in Jamesburg, which is where he was living at the time of his death. He is survived by Kate and by his three children, as well as by nine grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren. We send deepest sympathy to them all.
