Don, son of Oscar L. Updike 1925, came to us from Columbia High School to major in mechanical engineering. After Army service, he settled in his old family home in Randolph, N.J., for 65 years. He worked in design engineering for McKiernan-Terry and Camoran Machine Co., in Dover, N.J.

His wife, Ann, died before him. Don died Jan. 16, 2025. He is survived by his daughters Nancy, Cathy, and Barbara, to whom the class offers its best, with a salute to Don for his Army service.
