Dwight Schoeffler ’46

Body

Dwight died Aug. 23, 2000, of cardiac arrest in Helsinki, Finland, while on a Baltic cruise with his wife of 49 years, Winafred. Born in Holyoke, Mass., he came to Princeton from Deerfield Academy. In the US Army Air Corps, he was a combat bomber tail-gunner in the Pacific. He graduated in 1948.

Working in advertising and marketing, Dwight lived over 27 years in Vienna, Va. He loyally attended Princeton events, including our 54th reunion in June 2000. He moved to Sarasota in July 1999. Our deep sympathy goes to his widow, sons William, Frederick, Thomas, and daughter Katharine '80, and four grandchildren.
