Andrea Gaetano Prochilo ’61

Andy died in his sleep on May 27, 1996, of heart failure. He lived in Hurst, Tex.

He came to Princeton from Oceanside H.S. on Long Island. He rapidly became one of our most popular classmates due to his charismatic personality, warmth, sincerity, and enthusiastic approach to life. Football was his first love, and teammates remember him for his unselfishness and contributions to team spirit. He majored in economics and was a member of Tiger Inn.

Shortly after graduation, he and Pat were married and left for Ft. Sill, Okla., where he began a twoyear stint as an artillery officer. Returning to NYC, he joined IBM, beginning a lifelong career in sales. Always quick to meet IBM's sales quotas, Andy became restless and began to search for greater challenges. This led to relocation to the Chicago area and work in the massmailing industry with firms who maintain huge consumer databases for clients. In recent years, he was an independent contractor for Natl. Revenue Corp.

A regular reunions attendee, he often led us in dancing to "oldies" from the '60s. He was an avid "duffer" and loved Texas for its yearround golfing climate. Andy is survived by Pat, his three children, Douglas, Lisa, and Donald, two grandchildren, his mother, and eight brothers and sisters. The class joins them in their grief.
