Andrew J. Lord Jr. ’47

Jim Lord died of pulmonary fibrosis in Newton, Mass. Sept. 9, 1995. His home was in Wellesley. Jim served in WWII as an Army air corps pilot.

During the D-Day invasion he flew missions over Normandy. He transferred to Princeton from Wesleyan Univ. in his junior year. After graduation Jim worked for the investment firm Lords Abbett and Co., which was founded by his father. In 1971, after 24 years as a wholesaler in the mutual bond industry (the last 20 in Boston), he decided to shift to another field: real estate. He took a position with Village Realty Associates in Wellesley and eventually became the owner of the company. More recently he worked for Century 21, also in Wellesley.

In 1951 when he moved to the Boston area from Morristown, N.J., Jim knew he would never care to live anywhere else. He was happy in New England, both in his family life and in his professional activities. He was active in civic affairs in both Wellesley and Boston, as was his wife, Lucy, whom he married one week after graduation. To her and to their sons, Andrew, Stanley, Benjamin, and John, and their daughter, Davis, the class extends its profound sympathy.
