Dickson B. Guile ’43

Body

Dick died in Stuart, Fla., Feb. 25, 1997. He was 75.

He was born in Rockville Center, N.Y., and resided in Huntington, N.Y., for many years. He prepared for Princeton at Southside H.S., Rockville Center, and Phillips Exeter Academy. Dickson served in Europe during WWII as an officer in the field artillery.

His entire business career was spent in the textile industry; at the time of his retirement in 1985, he held the post of executive v.p. of Greenwood Mills Marketing Co. A member of the technical advisory committee of the American Textile Manufacturer's Assn., Dick was active in many textile-oriented activities. In addition, he was both a past president and past secretary of the class.

Dickson is survived by his wife, Helen; five children, Susan Souder, Nancy, Dickson B. Jr., Leslie Puglisi, and Keith S.; 11 grandchildren, and one greatgrandchild. To the entire family, we offer our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies.
