Jim was born in Newark, N.J., and came to Princeton from Springfield Regional High School. He was a member of Dial Lodge and majored in mechanical engineering.
Jim left Princeton during his junior year and spent two years with the Marines during the Korean War. He returned to Princeton with his new wife and daughter after his military service, completed his degree, and was reinstated in the Class of ’53 in time for our 10th reunion.
After graduation, Jim went to work for Photo Circuits Corp. on Long Island and stayed there for a number of years, though the company name and Jim’s title changed often and his work led him as far afield as Australia and China. Jim retired in 1997 but continued to do consulting work for a few years after that.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Barbara; their five children; and five grandchildren.
