Albert Marshall Helmrath ’26

With regret, we report that Al Helmrath died at his home in Summit, N.J., on Aug. 26, 1996. He was 92.

Before he retired in 1958, Al was engaged in NYC in the family business of importing and exporting leather through Helmrath, Inc., a corporation of which he was the sole owner. Al came to Princeton from Salisbury School and as an undergraduate participated in athletics, playing on our freshman football team and pulling an oar on the freshman heavies. He was on the varsity football and crew squads in our sophomore year. He majored in history and was a member of Cap and Gown.

Al married Barbara Hill Cox in Dec. 1949, and before her death in 1988, they enjoyed spending their summers with their three children at the family farm in upstate New York near the Berkshires. He loved the great outdoors and with Barbara enjoyed good hunting and fishing and teaching the children the rudiments of these sports.

He is survived by his children, William, Peter, and Susan, and five grandchildren. To all of them, the class extends deep sympathy.
