Alfred M. Ehrenclou ’49

Al died June 30, 2018, in Warren, N.J. He graduated from The Hill School and came to Princeton in 1945. He roomed at South Dod with Dan Toll. In 1946 he entered the Army.

In 1947 he came back to the campus, majored in economics, and joined Cap and Gown. He captained the JV football team, sang in the Chapel Choir, and participated in Orange Key.

After graduation, Al married Francesca  “Frisky” Paine, and they eventually had four children, Francesca “Cora,” Alfred, Anne, and Alice. Along the way Al earned a master’s degree in economics at Columbia, an MBA at Boston University, and a law degree at New York University. He practiced law in New York and eventually started his own firm, Matheson & Ehrenclou, where he practiced until he retired and moved to Florida.

In our 50th-reunion yearbook Al reported that he was “90 percent retired” but continued to play golf and bridge, volunteered at Flagler Museum, and was  “fully occupied keeping up with our two families and friends.”

He is survived by his wife, Veronika; children Al, Ann, and Alice; and his stepson, Alan Ames. His oldest daughter, Cora, predeceased him. To all, we offer our sympathy and condolences.
