Albert Theodore Sandquist III ’59

Body

Ted Sandquist died of heart problems Nov. 21, 1995, at his home in Pipersville, Pa.

Ted grew up in Westfield, N.J., where he attended high school. An economics major at Princeton, Ted was active in Orange Key and performed with the NROTC drill team. He ate at Key and Seal, where he also participated in intramural sports.

After Princeton, Ted earned a BS degree in marketing from Rutgers, as well as an MBA. He went to work for Young & Rubicam Advertising in NYC in 1965, then moved on to Block Drug Co. in Jersey City in 1967. After a few years at Block, Ted left to devote full-time to rental real estate ventures, an avocation that had become a profession for him. He also began a small yacht chartering business in New York harbor, which later blossomed into an afloat party

catering enterprise.

Ted was a devoted fan of Princeton football, and often brought an entourage of friends to games with him. His RV parked behind Cloister Inn on football weekends became a fixture-and a stopping point for classmates on their way to games-for several years. His quick smile and warm hospitality made even a brief visit a pleasurable event.

The class extends its sympathy to Ted's brother, David, his only survivor.
