Alfred M.W. Saupe Jr. ’49

Al died May 29, 2016, with his daughter, Dana LaGueux, and his granddaughter, Megan LaGueux, at his side.

Al came to Princeton in 1946 after service in the Marines. He joined his younger brother, Bill, who had already matriculated as a member of our Class of 1949. Al was an economics major and a member of Cannon Club. In June 1948, he married Valerie Corwin, and they lived at the Harrison Street Project his senior year.

After graduation, Al joined Berkshire Knitting Mills and spent 24 years there, first in New York, then Chicago, then back to New York. He then worked 18 years for Vision Hosiery Mills. After retirement, Al was a trustee of the Cheshire (N.J.) Home for the Physically Handicapped, a Meals on Wheels volunteer, and an elder in the Madison (N.J.) Presbyterian Church.

Al was predeceased by Valerie in March 2014 and by his brother, Bill. He is survived by children Theodore, Alfred (Billy), Peter, and Dana. We offer our sincere condolences to his family.
