Craig E. Nightingale Jr. ’27
Word has just been received that Craig E. Nightingale Jr. died at Cos Cob, Conn., in Apr. 1996. "Night" came to us from Greenwich HS. At Princeton, he was a member of the freshman and varsity lacrosse squads and Gateway Club. He roomed with C. F. Hahner senior year in N. Dod.
On leaving Princeton, he engaged in engineering and construction work with his father (who was Class of 1898) and later in Peekskill, N.Y., as general manager of the Peekskill Gravel Co. and the American Cyanamid Co.
During WWII, he served with the Army Engineer and Transportation Corps at Camp Gordon, Fla., as warrant officer junior grade, working on boat repairs.
He married Aloie Dickinson of Montclair, N.J., at the University Chapel in 1931.
After the war, he headed his own boat-construction company at Greenwich, Ct., retired in 1988, and indulged his fondness for golfing and bowling.
He is survived by his daughter, Audrey Greenwald, his grandchildren, Gary, Joanne, and Jay, and two great-grandchildren. To them, the class extends its sympathy.
