Donald A. Good ’46

Body

Don died of a stroke Jan. 11, 2006, at Bermuda Village in Advance, N.C.

A native of Hackettstown, N.J., he attended Blair Academy before coming to Princeton in 1942. He served in the Army Air Corps as a bombardier from 1943 to 1945, then married Roberta Bowers and returned to Princeton.

He went into a family leather business in 1945, became founder and president of Good-McCree Leather Co., and remained in Hackettstown until 1987, when he retired to The Landings at Savannah, Ga. In 2000, Don moved to Advance, where he had summered and golfed with his family for many years. He also enjoyed sailing and stamp collecting. He was a director of United Jersey Bank.

Remembered for his good humor, enthusiastic friendships, and family life, he is survived by Roberta; his daughter, Carol; three grandsons; and three great-grandchildren. To them, the class extends its deep sympathy.
