Albert Ross Meeker Jr. ’50

Body

Pete Meeker died in Vermont on Apr. 25, 1995. Pete came to us after serving in the Army during 194346. He graduated from Millburn [N.J.] H.S., where he was active in the school orchestra and band. Continuing his interest in music at Princeton, Pete was music director of the marching band as a senior and was also in the Concert and Tiger Dance bands as well as the Triangle Club orchestra. He was a member of the Terrace Club.

After graduation, Pete joined the family company, A.R. Meeker Co. He was always active in civic affairs, serving as secretary and treasurer of the Newark Junior Chamber of Commerce and then working with his neighborhood's civic association and the township's transportation committee in Short Hills, N.J. Always an avid skier, Pete also enjoyed sailing and hiking.

The class extends its deepest sympathy to his sons, A. Ross Meeker III and Gregory R. Meeker, his daughter, Carol C. Meeker, and his companion, Eileen Weinzimmer.
