Alio John Perantoni ’52

Following a period of increasing health problems, Alio died July 30, 2002.

Alio was born in Raritan, N.J., Sept. 17, 1928. After attending local schools he graduated from Somerville High School in 1945. He then enlisted in the Army, serving as a medical technician at Fitzsimmons Hospital in Denver, Colo., prior to a two-year tour in Japan.

Upon his return he entered Princeton, where he was a chemistry major and member of Dial Lodge. He played freshman football and was on the varsity track team for three years. His senior roommate was Clark Thompson.

After graduation Alio joined American Cyanamid, working as a research chemist and marketing manager for 15 years. In 1968 he became marketing and advertising manager with the Atlas Co. in Wilmington, Del., before returning to American Cyanamid and finally retiring in 1992.

Profoundly devoted to his family, Al moved with his wife, Jean, to Moreno Valley, Calif., to be near the families of their three children. He was also committed to his avocations of fly-fishing and astronomy.

At the time of his death, Al was survived by Jean; their children, Matthew, Lynn, and Mark; two grandchildren; and his sister, Clara. To them, we extend our condolences.
