Allan Power Lucht ’37

Body

Al died of pneumonia on Jan. 1, 2002, at Greenwich Hospital; he was 84.

Al came to us from Cliffside Park [N.J.] HS. He majored in architecture and graduated with honors. He earned his law degree from Fordham Law School and began his career with an investment counsel firm. During WWII, he was a flight instructor, including teaching a class of aviation cadets from the French air force.

For 14 years he was employed by Federated Department Stores, becoming financial vice president. He next worked for the foodservice organization Servomation as chairman and CEO, retiring in 1982. Al also served as chair of the National Automatic Merchandising Assn. He was a director of the Greenwich Historical Society and on the board of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club.

Al is survived by his widow, Nancy, sons Steven and Thomas, daughters Lee and Marilyn, as well as his son Philip with former wife Marilyn. Our sympathies to all.

In our 50th reunion yearbook, Al listed his hobby as "surviving." His wit will be missed.
