Alexander Rose Imlay ’42

Body

Sandy died at home, in San Rafael, Calif., Sept. 9, 2000, of a brain tumor. He retired in 1984 from a long and distinguished law career in San Francisco.

Coming to Princeton from the DeVeaux School, Sandy majored in history, graduating with honors, and was a member of Key & Seal Club. During WWII, he served in the Pacific theater as a Navy lt. aboard the destroyer Bronson. Receiving a law degree from Cornell after the war, he moved to California in 1949, joining the law firm of Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro. He formed his own practice some years later. Sandy attended reunions regularly with his wife, Marjo, who predeceased him. After retiring, he remained active in the Bohemian Club and served on the board of the Point Reyes Bird Observatory.

To his companion, Barbara Wornum; to his sons, Timothy and Michael; and to his four grandchildren, the class extends sincere sympathies.
