C. Donald Gutmann ’43
We lost Don Feb. 27, 2004; he was 82.
He prepared at Kingsley Prep School in Essex Falls, N.J., and transferred to Princeton from Dartmouth. While at Princeton Don was a member of Quadrangle Club and on the editorial board of the Tiger.
During WWII, Don was commissioned in the Marine Corps, serving in the Pacific as a forward artillery observer and later serving in China. He earned a law degree from U. Va. Law School.
His business career was deeply involved with Montgomery Ward, from which he retired as customer-relations director (corporate) after 35 years of service.
Don is survived by his wife of 56 years, the former Emily Fredette; two daughters, Christina Goodlander and Catherine Amberg; two sons, Christian and Peter; and eight grandchildren.
To his survivors, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies.
