Anthony A. Bernabei ’44

One of our most popular and dedicated class members, Tony died on Sept. 8, 2000, at his home in Fort Worth. He came to Princeton from Trenton [N.J.] H.S., captained both freshman and varsity swimming, was manager of Cap and Gown, and graduated magna in modem languages. His roommates included Buck Sheridan, Joe Walsh, Rufus Carr, Stew Mittnacht, Jim McCaffrey, Hank Russell, and Jack Clemmitt.

After WWII service in the counter intelligence corps, he earned a master's at NYU, was an officer at Empire Trust, and then moved to Cuba as v.p. of Ambar Motors, then became manager of the El Mundo and Telemundo media outlets. After Castro confiscated his assets, he started anew with CIT and later became v.p. of Tandy. He was a founding member of the Natl. Bank of Texas and was involved in many civic and cultural organizations in Ft. Worth.

Tony was v.p. and then pres. of our class from 1965-69. He also served as fifth reunion chair.

Preceded in death by his son, David, Tony is survived by his wife of 31 years, Olivia, daughters Judy, Laura, and Lisa, and eight grandchildren. We shall miss his spirit, enthusiasm, sense of humor, and dedication to our class and to Princeton.
