Body

Ted died Feb. 4, 2011, in Sarasota, Fla., from complications following a fall.

Ted was born in Baltimore and came to Princeton from Scarsdale (N.Y.) High School. At Princeton, he was a swimmer, majored in chemical engineering, and joined Campus Club.

During World War II, Ted was commissioned as an ensign in the Navy. He was deployed to help refine radar-detection systems for fighter planes. He also served on carriers in the South Pacific.

After getting a master’s degree in chemical engineering from Princeton in 1948, Ted spent his career with Mobil Oil. He and his wife, Barbara, settled in Darien, Conn. After retirement from Mobil in 1982, he consulted on oil-refinery projects in various areas around the world, including Nigeria, Indonesia, and the North Sea.

Ted was an avid sailor and owned a series of sailboats that he cruised and raced on Long Island Sound and off the New England coast. When he moved to Florida in 1985, he took up golf with a passion. He was also a crossword puzzle expert and a bridge aficionado.  

Ted was predeceased by Barbara and by sons James and John ’76. He is survived by sons W. Jeffrey ’71 and Albert E. 3d. To them, the class expresses its profound sympathy.
