August D. Cademartori ’47

Gus, the president of our class, died Sept. 19, 2014.

Following World War II naval service in the Pacific, Gus graduated from Princeton in June 1946 with degrees in naval science and economics. After graduation, Gus had two careers: the first with Stern’s department store in New Jersey for 25 years, and later with St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center, where he worked for 16 years until his retirement. He served as vice president of labor relations at both.

Gus served on the Emerson (N.J.) Board of Education and as president of Emerson Senior Citizens Club. He also was active in the Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption and was a trustee on the advisory board of Bergen Regional Medical Center in Paramus.

Gus was blessed with 68 years of marriage to his beloved wife, Anne, with whom he enjoyed many foreign travels. He was a devoted father to his two daughters, Roseanne and Kathryn; and a devoted grandfather to Robert, Jamie, and Matthew.

Gus was a warm and enthusiastic class member and a faithful attendee at our reunions, serving as chair of our great 65th reunion. We will miss this cheerful classmate and president
