Andrew Morris Newburger ’38

Body

Andy was a resident of NYC but died on Apr. 8, 2001, in a hospice in Wayland, Mass., after a yearlong struggle to overcome lymphoma.

After preparing at Blair Academy, where he was on the swimming team and the publications board, Andy majored in English at Princeton, was on the News Board, was a columnist for the Daily Princetonian, and was a member of Court Club.

During WWII, Andy served in the Army Signal Corps in Greenland and the Aleutians.

His career was as a broker and partner in Newburger, Loeb & Co. until it ceased operations. Since then and until his last illness, he worked at Lebenthal & Co., which ran a "tombstone" in the NY Times reading: "This true gentleman took care of his clients and treated all of them like one of his family."

With the first of his three wives, Babette, he had two daughters, Mary Ann Gore and Betty Kornitzer, both of whom survive him, as do six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Two Princeton nephews, Herbert Kaufmann '55 and John Newburger '65, also survive him. The class extends sincere condolences to all his family.
