C. E. Nightingale Jr. ’27

We have just received word that C. E. Nightingale Jr. died Apr. 17, 1996. He lived in West Harwich, Mass., for the last five years of his life with his granddaughter, Mrs. Joanne MacClellan.

Craig came to us from Greenwich [Conn.] H.S. He was a member of the freshman and varsity lacrosse squads and of Gateway Club. Senior year, he roomed in Dod with O. W. F. Hahner.

After graduation, he engaged in engineering work with his father, Craig Sr., who was a member of the Class of 1898. In 1937, he became general manager of the Peekskill Gravel Co. in Peekskill, N.Y. During WWII, he was a warrant officer in the Engineer and Transportation Corps of the Army. After the war, he worked for the American Cyanamid Co.

From 1950-85, he was a residential builder in Greenwich, Conn., and in 1985 he retired and moved to Brewster, Mass. Craig married Aloise Dickinson in the University Chapel in 1931. She predeceased him in 1991.

He is survived (in addition to Mrs. MacClellan) by his daughter, Mrs. Audrey Greenwald (who sent the news of his death), two other grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. To them, the class extends its sympathy.
